Soccer Boy finished up "P" by painting a cute, little penguin. He humors me when it comes to art projects, but he doesn't find it very fun. This is just so different from my little Artsy Girl as she begs to do art each week. This is just one more great reason why we love homeschooling. I can tailor to each child's strengths and interests. We spent Thursday introducing the new letter "K" and will continue on with kangaroos next week.
Artsy Girl learned about Robert Fulton and his great contribution of the Steam Boat and submarine. We also learned about Mississippi and Indiana and the importance of traveling by the Mississippi River.
She also completed her 3rd grade Teaching Textbooks curriculum and moved right into 4th grade math. We also finished observing her Petri dishes that we started last week. She came to a major conclusion: hands.are.dirty! We grew lots and lots of colonies in the dishes with the hand swabs. Yuck! She came to realize jut how important soap is and why Mommy continually says, "Go wash your hands" at least 50 times a day. Nothing like a little bacteria colonization to show that I do "sometimes" know what I'm talking about.
