Boy, we have had an exciting day over here so far. Friends of ours have pinworms (so we have been doing laundry etc in the hope of not getting them) and I paid a visit to our local, friendly pharmacist in an effort to keep our local group of moms informed. A HSing mom friend of ours L has put her back out and has had to go to the hospital (praying for you L), and this same mom and two of her kids are in our homeschooling co-op that might not start tomorrow. Dad delayed his departure this morning in order to watch (some of) the swearing in ceremony of Prime Minister Trudeau and his cabinet ministers. Fina and I are both still sick, though it seems that our congestion is breaking up (thanks, in part I am sure, to L's donating us a few drops of her Sniff B Gone essential oil blend that I have mixed into some coconut oil. Think like Vicks, but so yummy tasting that you almost want to eat it!).
We have yet to get any school work done. It might just be one of those days (and I'm not the one directly affected and impacted by most of the things I just listed above, so if you are the praying type, please pray for these situations).
So, today we spent a long time doing math. Fina wanted to get to the next chapter, "Solving for the unknown," probably just because it sounded mysterious. So she finished her whole chapter of adding hundreds. 20C-F. Then 21A and B. Solving for the unknown up to 10. So x+5=10. She did really well with it. I was impressed. This is probably not the best way to do math, but I figured today was kind of an all-over-the-place day anyway, so it was ok, as long as she was enjoying it. She still has a bit of trouble when reviewing skip counting by 2, getting mixed up with 12 and 20, and sometimes 14. We will continue with it!
We spent just a few minutes writing her cursive letter f. And that is it for us today.
