Bryce was confused yesterday because we started "school" in the morning. I explained to him that when we are home in the morning we will be doing school then - especially in the winter when we are not able to be outside much.  This morning he was ready to start as soon as breakfast was done. It is wonderful to have a child so eager to learn.

Bryce started to learn about place value today. I am interested to see when it clicks for him. Now my challenge is to find all of Derek's legos, from his childhood, so we can count them and make them into groups of ten.

For history, we read the story of Zaccheus. Then we used textured brown paint and painted a tree. We used paper towel in the green to give the leaves a neat textured look. Painting is always a big hit around here and clean up is getting easier too.
