Gypsy Kings
I love the Gypsy Kings. They have been the background music for today's lessons.
My favourite song is Volare! I first heard a different version of this song off of the Lizzie McGuire movie (yes, I'm admitting that out loud), and I loved it. And today, while we're mixing up pineapple cake and playing Mancala, Volare! came on. Good times and salsa dancing. Here's the youtube link for those who are seriously deprived of some good latin music http://youtube.com/watch?v=oNgSeJzLJFc
Ok, so homeschool life stuff. More heart stuff. Today Lucy tried to pump fluid as fast as her heart can. The heart can pump 150 ml of blood about 70 times per minute (on an adult). So we had Lucy try and take fluid from one dish to another and see how much she could pump in a minute. Not bad--she could do it 35 times. She was booking it.
We did lots of other stuff today, including: play CandyLand, race around outside to feel our hearts beating and, of course, we practiced our Latin dance moves which we made up because none of us know Latin dance...yet. Cherry had some pretty groovin' moves. We call it the "saggy diaper hip wiggle". If we could let the dance world know about it,i t would be a big hit on next season's So You Think You Can Dance.
Peter Pan in Scarlet is moving on swimmingly...looking forward to seeing how the Author is going pull it all together now that the old nursemaids are introduced.
Well, wompbompbaloolong the weekend's here!
Latah peoples! Monty

Hi Monty!
I just hopped on over from my blog where you had left a comment. Of course you can add me to your friends list. I see you are from Canada. Yay... another Canadian girl here at HSB. We live in Alberta where it is trying to snow tonite! Yikes, I am not ready for winter quite yet.
It looks like you and your kids are having a great time. I love the dance moves you were all working on today. *giggle*
I am adding you to my friend list too so I can stop by and see how things are going in your world.
TTYS
Pam
