I have been teaching the boys all about fractions this week. I have made them into a unit study and they are having fun learning about them.  Today they mainly focused on how different  fractions equal the same.  Yesterday they studied how to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions and also how to take improper fractions and convert them into proper fractions.  FUN FUN!  We have added them, subtracted them and  now we're getting ready to multiply them.   They also got some typing practice today and learned about the parts of the computer (some of which they already knew).   Marie made a spreadsheet from a monthly budget and did all the figures. She used the computer program "works" to accomplish this goal.  ITomorrow she will make a  couple graph's using her budget figures. I want  all the kid's to be VERY familiar with the computer and all it can do. 

 Marie has finished all of her assigned school work for today- she is now playing "The Amazon Trail" computer game. The boys are playing "Golf" on the TV game.  I am going to do some blogging, laundry, cleaning and then maybe crochet some later.  Me and Harry are catching a cold- I've been trying to fight it, but I think being out last night in the cold 17 deg. and icy it is about to win the battle over me.  I had to take Douglas to B-Ball practice last night- it was SO cold and windy~  The parking lot in the church was a SOLID sheet of ICE!  I slid through a stop sign- thankfully no one hit me! Okay, I'm ready for spring!!!
