-Worked on memory passage. Astrid recited all the passages she already knows. She decided to teach Muirgen the 23rd Psalm, asking her to repeat each line after her. Much to her frustration (and my surprise) rather than repeating the lines, Muirgen would go on to complete them. I had no idea she knew so much of Psalm 23 already. She seems to have no need to showcase her knowledge, but picks up much more than I realize just from being around while Astrid works on things.
-Girls played with paper dolls.
-Astrid went through our collection of story books and found all the ones that have bears as characters. We read a few of them and then she counted how many bears there were of each colour. I showed her how to make a bar graph showing the results.
-Muirgen played library. She was the librarian.
-Astrid played with some wooden 3D puzzles.
-Girls helped me make tomato and lentil soup.
-Muirgen helped me hang laundry.
-Astrid completed the last 6 pages in her math workbook.
-She drew a picture of baby Jesus in the manger, a horse, the star of Bethlehem and a dove.
-Walked over to Jordin's to take her supper (the soup we made). We stayed and the kids played dominoes and "Pirates of the Caribou" for about 45 mins.
-Astrid showed Jason the graph she made and they discussed it in detail.
-Read a story out of our new library book 'Tales of Princes and Princesses'.
