just another day of homeschool!

I'm happy to report that we've had an "ok" day today! Nothing SPECTACULAR happened, but we got all of our work done AND we went to the library for some game time!

I was pleasantly surprised at how well our game day went today. We reserved a room in the library and just brought out board games (from home) and the kids really enjoyed it. There were about 10 kids there and ALL were actually playing games together. It was so nice to see that they can have fun without having to run around like mad people (gym time!). Lets see, we played Monopoly Jr., Spy Alley, Sorry, Connect Four, Blockus, SCAT, Chutes & Ladders and Uno. I hope we can do it again soon!!

On a school note, Hunter and Lizzie both started on new handwriting material today. I was happy to find out that the Transition Book from A Reason for Handwriting has manuscript lessons that Hunter doesn't need, so I'm using them for Lizzie. They liked them alot. Hunter's doing some prep-practice and is getting ready to jump into cursive. We also really enjoyed our Egermeier's Bible Story Book. We read in the morning before we start our work - and they are bummed out when we have to stop reading.

Anyway - that was our Tuesday. Waiting for a phone call to go meet a friend to pick up Lizzie. So glad she's found a little friend to connect with!

Until next time...
