Yesterday was a pretty good day for the kids. Hunter went to preschool as usual (no problems this time). The girls worked hard on their math and piano right away. When they were finished, we worked more on our rainforest unit. The girls decorated toilet paper tubes to create rain sticks. They also decorated invitations for our end of the unit party! They are deciding on some snacks to serve (they have to be made with products from the rainforest of course). They read together chapter 2 of "One Day in the Tropical Rainforest." They are completing two charts as they read. On one, they list the plants/animals/relationships that are mentioned in the chapter. On the other, they list the things Tepui does for each time slot listed. I think I will have to blow up Maddie's charts. Her handwriting is so big and sloppy that she can't fit it in the little boxes.
After lunch, the kids were surprised to find out that Zoe and Aiden were coming over to play! It was a beautiful day and the kids enjoyed it outdoors. Our yard is now littered with confetti (and the house, too) after my kids introduced Zoe and Aiden to cascarones.
Rachel brought over my curriculum for next year, so I spent last night looking it over and getting excited about next year! As Rachel was showing the kids what they get to do next year, Maddie said she didn't want to go to school. . . .she wanted to do all this "stuff" with us :) We'll see. . . .we haven't made any decisions regarding her yet.
