Sarah, age 6:

Math: pages 42-47 of  Singapore's 2B math book. On telling time. She wanted to do more, but we have to save some for another day. She really loves work books.

(I asked if she would like to do math)

Reading: Lessons 1-3 in McGuffy's primer. We tried to do this last summer, and she was not ready. She read them yesterday with no problems, and no help. I once read somewhere that reading and losing teeth were somewhat connected, and since she has lost her tooth, something seems to have clicked in her brain.(I asked if she would like to read)

Geography: Holling C. Holling's Seabird : The first chapter, about Greenland. Narrated, but not in great detail. (She asked to do this)

Other: A word find. I have showed her how to do these before, but she didn't have the patience to sit down and find the letters. This one she found in a coloring book and worked on for half of and hour on her own!

Outdoors: Finally some sun with no wind! Nice enough to be outside with just a light jacket. The girls went outside exploring. Found some bent rebar and pretended that it beeped when they found gold, and they would dig there. Sarah went off on her own as a thing finder (from Pippy Longstocking). She filled her pockets full of all kinds of treasures (otherwise known as thrash), and rocks. Unfortunately she wondered too far where she couldn't hear me call her. We had to have a discussion on where she was allowed to go. It is so sad that we have to worry about this. That I have to make her afraid  of people.

Read aloud: bedtime story; Pippi Longstocking, chapter 2.
