-The girls worked on their memory verses.
-Astrid finished up a word search she started earlier. The hidden words were from her last spelling list.
-The girls drew a scene of construction workers at work on the front window with their new window markers. They then decided to put on a play about construction workers using the window as their back drop. They spent all morning preparing it and then performed it for August and me. August found it quite funny when they would pop up from behind the couch. They each played a role in the play and used hand puppets to fill in the other characters they needed.
-They had a conversation about what the term "based on" means. Muirgen was using it to say that their play was based on a woman named Maria and Astrid asked her if she knew what it actually meant. They both had a very good grasp of the meaning.
-They washed and dried the dishes while I put August down for his nap.
-Astrid completed the last two pages of a math test she's been working on. It's a placement test to see what level she'd be at in the Miquon math curriculum. It had a few questions about money on it.
-She then counted out the change we'd saved up in a jar over Lent.
-I read the girls part of the section called 'Baby Animals' from 'A Pioneer Story'.
-We read the first section 'The Beginning' in the book 'Discovering Canadian Pioneers' by Marlene and Reginald Gutsole. It included tables of weather patterns in London, England and Toronto, Ontario. We made bar graphs to show the average number of snow days during the winter months in each location and a line graph to show the average low temperatures for the winter months in each location. We talked about what the graphs showed us and how it was easier to compare the information in graph form than in table form. We talked about why the pioneers had a difficult time during their first winter in Canada given the weather they were used to in England and the weather they experienced here.
-Astrid read herself a bunch of simple story books.
-Muirgen went to ballet with Jason.
-I read 2 story books from the library and a book about interesting animal facts to Astrid.
-They did their tidy up without too much hassle (last night we had a big fight about it)!
