March 30, AO year 1, week 15

On Tuesday, we had a lovely get together in the big back yard of one of our friends. There were more than 20 kids there (it is Spring Break here in MB) and a bunch of moms. It was so wonderful! All in all, Fina and her friend K were out from 9:45am until 8:15pm.  We were at our friend's house from 10:30 until after 5 and then Fina and K had a quick something to eat and continued playing in our courtyard. Such a wonderful time! (This is the wonderful weather period between snow and mosquitoes in MB. You can't quite spend 10 hours outside in summer. Sometimes, but not always.

Today (on Wednesday) we started the morning listening to some Schubert while Fina did some drawing.

She used one of these "learn how to draw characters" books

We did some math work. Fina finished up Test 6, writing the numbers from 0-100.  She still has a tiny bit of confusion yet with 20, 21, 22, so we worked on that.

I read "The Ass and the Load of Salt" and "The Lion and the Gnat" from Aesop Fables. Fina narrated them well.

I read "Prince Hyacinth" from The Blue Fairy Book.  She enjoyed it, but gave a sort of mumbly narration.

We continued with our learning to read with Bob books. We finished reading pages 5-9 of book 1:6 "Dot and the Dog."  She is doing really well.

We worked through our memorization box. Fina learned the third line of the Orsino passage she is working on from Twelfth Night.

She did an episode of her yoga. It had been a long time. (When you spend so much time outside, you don't really need to do yoga as an exercise.)

Here is our  black turtle bean sprout. A new trifoliate leaf set has grown in the middle, plus a few other tiny ones. So fun!

We spent the afternoon playing outside with some friends, at various places around town.

Tomorrow we have our coop. We have the older PS siblings with us, so that will be fun!
