March 13, AO year 1, week 14

On Saturday, it was so warm and sunny (plus 11, I think) and Fina played outside for over 4 hours. She also rode her bike for the first time this year. What a wonderful day! We had to leave early for the city.

Since we went to church last night, this morning we did some school work, since tomorrow is supposed to be hot as well and sunny.

We did chapter 5 of math, adding 1. We did 5A and 5F as well as all the word problems of 5B-E. We will do the test next time.

We did some cursive work. We learned the letter p.

Some days, her cursive is just lovely, and the experience is hassle free. Today was one of those days. (Other days, our cursive time is fraught with angst!)

I read "The Black Douglas" from Fifty Famous Stories Retold and Fina narrated it very well.

We worked through our memorization box. I read a new poem, "Jonathan Jo" from When We Were Very Young.  Fina finished memorizing our first passage from Twelfth Night. She does a great job with it.

It is drizzly and cold this afternoon, but Fina and I went for a walk, (well, she rode her bike while I walked, we bumped into our friend T riding his bike, wandered with him for a bit and came back home. Fina stayed outside and played for another while. She also rode her scooter for the first time this year. Then she played with playdough for a long time. And dad read three chapters of Prince Caspian to her in the evening. (I think it is either their third or fourth time through the Narnia series.)

A good Sunday.
