A full day

Creative title, eh? Seems like all days are full days lately.

We started the day reading from the Berenstain Bears book, The Big Honey Hunt.



Mane is TOTALLY into reading now that she can read Berenstain Bears herself. Who'd-a-thunk?

We found out that we can check out Sesame Street episodes in Spanish from the library. So, we did that, and Mane watched one this morning. She spent the rest of the day going around naming the colors in Spanish. I'm seeing that she's still at a prime age for language learning, and I'm trying very hard to keep us on track learning a little Spanish each day. (It's been 3 days now.)

We kept working on lesson 25 in MUS. Mane has successfully mastered the 10's and 9's families for addition, and she knows how to turn subtraction problems into addition problems. Now that she's worked out how to turn the math upside down, and she's memorized 9's, 10's and doubles, she's ready to finish out the Alpha math book.

We started word group 3 in the 100 words book.

Then we read about the 1st Sumerian dictator in Story of the World and about Abraham. Tomorrow we'll read about Joseph, and we'll spend the rest of the week teasing out some details from this part of history. I love it that Story of the World includes the Bible stories. Mane can see how the Bible fits into history and how the Bible is a true story, too.

We read our history stuff on the bus on the way to Vespera's badminton game. Mane ran around at the game, and now she's playing happily with paper dolls at my feet.

Phew. What a day.
