We had our outdoor playgroup yesterday. The kids had so much fun. We had a pretty large group. Fina went through three changes of clothes. Good thing for friends who are willing to loan! There was SO MUCH WATER!
We were out from 11 til 4:30 and then she came home and continued to play outside with a neighbourhood friend (the public school kids are on spring break) until 8:25. This weather is just wonderful!
This morning, I read two chapters of Stuart Little over breakfast. Fina then practiced a bit of piano.
I read Genesis 3:8-24, stopping three times for narration. This was one of her best narrations ever. Something is really clicking. I'm glad her Bible narrations are so good! We had a big discussion about the passage.
She worked on the test for unit 2 in her math work.
"These are the neatest numbers I've ever written in my whole life!"
We reviewed her recitations.
I read "The Cat that walked by Himself" from Kipling's Just So Stories to Fina for narration. She was taken by it!
We worked on our Spanish, reviewing page 7 of our vocab book, learning our next nursery rhyme "El patio de mi casa" and reading pages 11 and 12 of Peppa se va a dormir.
She worked on some cursive. We tried working on the whiteboard (she is still having some perfectionist frustration. I think we need to get a slate that she could use at the table instead. Writing vertically is quite different. Good, but different!)
I read poem #163, "Little Things," from The Oxford Book of Children's Verse and we reviewed our last few poemas.
Fina read aloud from Squirrel Nutkin.
We sang our hymn and folksong. We will start our next hymn and folksong tomorrow.
Fina spent some time painting, while listening to The Red Fairy Book on Librivox.
Then she spent all afternoon and evening playing outside. We went back to the forest at the creek and the water had risen at least another two inches. I was unable (unwilling) to cross and fill my boots with water!
