For those of you that have been waiting on pins and needles for the past two weeks for a "Peek" installment, never fear...the wait is over! We have been B-U-S-Y!!! The kids have a taekwondo tournament coming up, so I've been trying to get them to as many classes as possible. And then I made an announcement earlier last week that Annaleigh has been cast as the Ghost of Christmas Past in "The Christmas Carol," so forgive me if my "Peeks" from here on out appear blurry. It is not your clouded contact lenses or a glitch with your computer screen. It is just the speed with which we move...we are speed! Harrison continues to excel in just about anything he puts his mind to. He just has to complain about it a little before he puts his mind to it. Here he's posing with an address book that he made for language arts:
He also wrote a lovely letter to his grandparents, which I have temporarily...ah...misplaced. In this picture he's learning how to divide a set of objects in half. The book suggested colored tiles, but we chose mini M&Ms. I swear I missed my calling in writing curriculum! I would have called it "Math with Chocolate," "Language Arts with Chocolate," "The History of Chocolate," "The Science of Chocolate," etc.
For history, I found a little pyramid that you can break open and find a little Egyptian artifact inside. The kids worked on this together.
Above they're just getting started using the little tools that came with the this 88 cent contraption.
Here they decided to break out the more serious, heavy-duty Play-doh tools.
And, finally about 30 minutes later, a little hieroglyphic tablet emerges. They had fun doing it, and both decided to never become an archaeologist. I decided that I REALLY need to take down the Starlite mint wreath. Annaleigh, despite her busy schedule, still graces us with her presence from time to time. Here I found her on the surprisingly clean floor of her room doing math, in a red shirt and pink socks, no less.
She's still in the middle of her Ancient Greek studies. For a project she made a Greek God Family Tree.
I think she thought that the names were going to take up more space than they actually did, but other than that, she did a great job on it. Ripley thinks, "School is no big deal. I can do it with my eyes shut. {Sigh}...I love the color orange."
