Dad School
American History: They watched the two hour long documentary A More Perfect Union by BYU. This film is about the singing of the Declaration.
Mom School
Business/Public Speaking: The kids participated in an Usborne book show with me this afternoon. They all gave a little speech on their favorite book a couple of different times.
Social: Played with friends during the four hour show.
I'm tired and I can't think so here's what they did in a nutshell. I'm sure I forgot something...sigh...
Olivia : Math lesson, science lesson, Greek Root words test, geography lesson, read Jane Eyre for a long time, played on Infopath, vocabulary word of the day, read a book about the horse Seabiscuit, practiced her vocal solo, and read her Book of Mormon.
Jared: Math lesson, read in the New Testament Reader, practiced the piano, Explode the Code phonics, spell drill, Lego's and wrestling practice.
Luke: Math lesson, Explode the Code phonics, Book of Mormon Reader, 1 hour + silent reading of various things, spell drill, Lego's and wrestling practice.
Caleb: Math game, Explode the Code phonics, spell drill, wrestling practice, and overall extremely naughty.
To Show Parent Core/Love of Learner/Scholar here are some things we modeled to the children today...
Deanna: Scriptures, word of the day, went to the temple (it was my mom and dad's day to work in the temple and I ended up being in the same session-neat!), read a couple chapters of the The Iliad by Homer.
Alex: Scriptures, word of the day, held his first dad school and survived, went to work and listened to The Iliad by Homer.
