-Circle time.
-Worked on memory passage. Astrid can now say most of Psalm 23 from memory. Just needs a couple reminders. Reviewed other passages we've memorized.
-Astrid completed 14 pages in her new geography work book, all about maps and how to use them.

-Muirgen completed four pages in her shapes and colours work book.
-The girls painted their little sculptures that they made with the left over sun stone clay. The sun stones were still not 100% dry, so we didn't paint them.

-The girls put on thier rain gear and played outside for a bit.
-They invented a game called "Catcher and the fox". It involved a lot of running and chasing.
-Astrid wondered what a "tincture" is, so we talked about herbs, their medicinal properties and how they are made into things like tinctures.
-The girls built with lego.
-Muirgen drew a picture.
-They played with their fairy and mermaid figurines.
-They set up an imaginary painting studio and began by painting each other's faces. This led to painting the walls and furniture (no real paint was involved - few!)
-They pretended the entire first floor of our house was a campground which was covered in water. They made bed boats, boats to eat in, etc. They swam around and took care of their babies as they camped.
-Astrid recited all of the Bible verses she has memorized (including Psalm 23 - the newest one) for Vincent at supper.
-Talked about the meanings of the words"digestion" and "systems".
-Read a chapter of 'Charlotte's Web'.
-Read two counting books.
-Nursery rhymes.
