Today was kind of relaxing, the kids and I slept in. We woke up when we woke up, which was nice! I had a nice long shower- no interruptions! We started history and did the chapter on Kublai Khan and Marco Polo. I have a small lap book planned about Marco Polo which we started the timeline for. We did narration again and it went only slightly better today. The narrations I am using are quotes having to do with the history lesson which Trivium Academy posted and I think they are wonderful but they are long. I think Matt is struggling with them being so long but he does get the meaning of the quotes so I guess it is worth the extra effort. We did math, I went over a few things with Kate and gave her the pack for the week, this is something new we are trying, she has until Sunday evening to do the pack. It is only the second pack so we will see! I did spelling test with Kate and she is on her last lesson of Spelling Workout Press, it is a final review. I think I will give her a few weeks break from spelling and focus on English for the Thoughtful Child. Matt worked on printing and a worksheet on prefixes and suffixes. He is doing well I think!

I am ready for my photography class I am doing at mom's house. I am nervous which is silly but I just am. I have planned the lessons for the 8 weeks and decided to focus on a famous photographer each week, I am sad to say I know hardly any at all. I researched to find some and recognized many famous photographs but not many names. One I enjoyed a lot was Yann Arthus Bertrand. He took most shots from hot air balloons and his aerial shots are unbelievable!



I guess I will sign off for tonight-
Mom and Dad Happy anniversary!!!!!!
