Tuesday, daddy leaves for two weeks...

The morning was spent with daddy, we dropped daddy off at 10.  His flight was delayed so we stayed with him for a bit.

We arrived home around 11, nathan played street hockey for 1/2 hour, and then we started school.

We read from the kingfisher encyclopedia of history.  I like this one better than the usborn encyclopedia, but I like having both.  We read and discussed for about 1 hour. We were reading on the Stone Age.  We discussed what they would like to place on their timelines and how they want to do this.  I suggested doing a research report and we can type it up and add it to our timeline.  Genevieve was all over this idea.   

We all helped make nachos, nathan made the guacamole, Gigi made nachos, I cleaned.  

Next up was piano

Nathan went first so Gigi and I worked on math.  We completed lesson 13.  Life of Fred middle school arrived today and the first book is fractions, exactly what we are studying now in Rightstart, so I let Gigi read it.  She loved it and completed chapter 1. 

Nathan's turn with math, nathan loves the humour in life of Fred and how the math is presented, he said he likes that they let you figure it out on your own.  Ohh how I hope this works for him.  Feel my pain... Nathan completed the chapter and was proud of himself that he scored 100 percent.  He I think liked how each question was so different.  

Wish I took pics but I lefty camera at home.   Let's hope tomorow is just as successful.

Finished off the day with Genevieve going to cheer practice, 5-7:30.

Today was a tough practice, but she completed for the first time ever  T-jump, standing back handspring, back walkover, back walkover.  This combination is at the beginning of her routine, and it is a little bit of a challenge for Gigi to do it from standing, and not a tumbling pass.  She had a coach stand and spot just in case, but she was able to do it without a spot but she lacks confidence in what she is doing.  I can't wait to see her do this though!
