Day 10

We dropped Jeff off at the airport today.  It is our tradition now to stop at abc restaurant to eat after.  I brought with us a book on small machines.  The neat thing about this book is that you actually get to build the small machines.

So we learned about simple machines in a fun way, the kids were surprised when I told them we were learning science.  

When we got home, the kids watched a video from discovery channel on china.  It  was about the culture of children now. 

We then attempted math.  Nathan was not doing so good today pain wise so I asked him 10+10 and he couldn't answer.  I have him some Tylenol and a break. Genevieve completed reading comprehension card 3b and 5b.  

I am lucky enough to have a very talented house cleaner who helped the kids for about an hour today with piano lessons.  I find Nathan really needs this encouragement at this time.  And Genevieve loves it!

Genevieve put together the geo puzzle North America while Nate was practising.

 

Both Nathan and Genevieve did about an hour of fun math games on the computer.  When I say fun math games I think they are more fun and games then math:). But I'm guessing they are helping with orderly thinking, problem solving.  As I write this I can hear them playing together, Nathan giving Genevieve directions.
