This week W and I read a few chapters each from: Pagoo, Seabird, An Island Story, A Child's History of the World, A Cricket in Times Square, The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood ($0.99 on the Nook!), & Joan of Arc. W is half-way through the 4th grade Spelling Skills book, still loving the proofreading sections. He also did dictionary skills, analogies, and definitions. Math was money (decimals) word problems and subtraction (regrouping/borrowing) with 4 digit numbers. Copywork was from a few different poems.
He spent time with his friend next-door, went to Cub Scouts, and got a "new" Game Boy Advance SP (old school, lol) with a few games. He's made lots of drawings and videos with his Flip. He's training one of the parrots and creating flying machines with his Legos. He spent $5 on 3 new mini Nerf guns that he already modded to shoot faster and farther. We watched a few scary movies together and he decided his new favorite shows are Dog, The Bounty Hunter and Man vs Wild.
J's new school (spring) term began so all her classes have a "2" in front of them now. School is still awesome, she says. Today J and her friend S were the paid entertainment at a 10-year-old's birthday party. They taught dance moves and basic choreography for an hour and made $30 each. Now J is at another birthday party (as a guest this time, lol) and having a sleepover. Last night I met her at school (with my mom and sister) to see the Senior Dance Showcase. It was amazing, as I knew it would be. In junior year there, the dancers do a "Junior Project" where they choreograph their own numbers with all original movements and based on a certain theme or idea. Several of those were performed as well - the kids originally performed these last spring. The talent these kids have is mind-blowing. Then we walked around the Lincoln Center area and had dinner at Ollie's Noodle House. So beautiful over there.
K is currently on her senior trip. Paintballing, snow tubing, rollerblading, dance clubbing, swimming, and having a blast with all her friends. She's ready for summer - and college. We should be getting the college letters sometime this month. Eeeeek.
