Starting Again - Last week of Feb - Mon

Hi! We are back at it today! Yea! Caleb has finally been diagnosed with strep (longer strep test) so in 24 hours all will be on antibiotics and we are headed to a full recovery! :)

Today Cody has:
* Read for over an hour - started his next Fablehaven book
* Done 2 Math pages and we played a dice game - speed: whoever can total the numbers the fastest wins... I am not as fast as he is! ack!
* Done 2 Language pages and reviewed analogies & idioms. (that was fun! I like sarcasm! tee hee)
* Had a fun coloring activity. We had him draw something that make him feel relaxed... he drew a detailed picture of a camp fire... including him looking relaxed... which turned out to look more like he needed to pee... we laughed and laughed!
* He also:
- played with the Leap Frog Letters and Numbers with Caleb and helped him practice some
- watched an episode of "Modern Marvels" with Dad - about Carbon. He learned how pencils are made (one of his desires! wahoo!) and more about the process of coal and it's use.

Now that lunch is over we are headed to sign him up for some classes at a local Charter School where the homeschoolers in our area meet, and to the library... he is ready to start some research on the change of seasons and the earth's rotation!

We also need to get some books on animals as we are heading to the Zoo on Wednesday for the Free Homeschooler's Day put on by our local Zoo. :)
