May 20, 2009 (Wednesday)

Today Alex stayed late so we hung out with him in the morning. Olivia had scholar school, we had scouts, Activity Days, Young Women's and a book club. We ended the day split with our cousins. We'd gained two kids and lost one for the night. Another fun, busy Wednesday.

Olivia
Olivia finished Robinson Crusoe. She played with some homeschooling friends for an hour. She went to scholar school. She went to activity days. She practiced goat tying (a rodeo sport), she rode horses and she ran the "chutes" while her cousins roped. She is spending the night with them. Olivia loves going to her cousins!

Jared
Jared did two math lessons, a spell drill, a Mad Libs paper, practiced his recital piece, read a lesson in the McGuffy Reader and read a chapter in the Doctrine and Covenants Reader. He also went to scouts where they played baseball. Jared is enjoying a fun filled evening with some cousins here at home.

Luke
Luke did some math lessons, did 5 pages in his Explode the Code book, a spell drill, and read some McGuffy lessons. He also had scouts. He is also enjoying time here with his cousins.

Caleb
Caleb did several pages in a creative writing workbooks ("Mom, I love doing this book! Can I do more?"), did a spell drill, did a couple of pages in Explode the Code, did a math workbook page, practiced his telling time skills, read a phonics reader, read a McGuffy Reader lesson and read a couple of verses in the Book of Mormon. He hung out with us at scouts and played baseball with us. He is also enjoying his cousins.

To Show Parent Core/Love of Learner/Scholar here are some things we modeled to the children today...

Alex: Scriptures, read in The Law by Bastiat, word of the day, went to work, he's listening to Master and Commander and he visited some people for his church calling.
