School was done this afternoon when my headache mostly subsided. Genevieve when I had come down had already grabbed Nathan's computer, found the word processing program and began writting her story. She was pretty proud of herself. I loved how she was able to take the notes she made and make sentences and a story out of it. If I had been there to help direct her I probably would have taught her how to decide how to group her ideas together more, like have the things that are alike together. We would have printed but I just bought a new wireless printer yesterday, and it was really giving me a headache trying to set up eprint. I know I didn't need to do this yet, but of course I have to do it now!!! Nathan had decided he wanted to read a book first, he then put up a little fight about not wanting to do anything else. Fight then ensues, Nathan says we should go back to regular school because I'm not a very good teacher. Ouch yes that did hurt :). Jeff talked to him, he came down grugenly and we discussed he can pick whatever he wants to learn about today. Explained to him we have all these books, all these topics we can learn about together, we can do fun things to learn about them, but we need to try. He grabbed a new linkology game called the human body linkology. I LOVE these games! I can not believe that in such a short duration we learn so many things playing this game! Another thing I love about this game is that you never feel dumb while playing this game, if you don't know if a card you have will work you look it up! We usually remember the next time, so in this way who wins is more a matter of chance, it is teaching it is okay if you don't know the answer. Genevieve and daddy joined in the linkology game again.
