Friday 3/23

Today, Georgia finished studying butterflies, learning about their senses and defenses in both catapillar and butterfly stages. She also worked in her math workbook on halves and quarters and learned about equality.

She studied the US government on http://bensguide.gpo.gov with Ben Franklin as host.

Olivia read the butterfly book she made and put the life cycle cards in the correct sequence.

She also watched a PBS show called Big Big World, and then did some activities on their web site.

Georgia and Olivia watched a Spanish video called Rock 'n Learn Spanish. They learned greetings, numbers to 100, and several other phrases. They had fun repeating the words and phrases and did well. We didn't get to finish it because it was time to go to Georgia's eye appointment. She's getting new glasses.

While we were at the eye doctor's, Olivia and I read a book about words that start from each letter of the alphabet. Olivia did really well matching the pictures to the letter with which they start.

When we got back, the girls watched Maya and Miguel on PBS. This show has Spanish in it as well. Then they watched Fetch which has children trying to figure out different clues, invent different objects, and other interesting activities that use reasoning and logic.

The girls each had a turn playing Petz, then Mark and I played a board game called Wits End with the girls helping us.
