We have evening classes today as we all needed some down time and rested in bed for a LONG nap and then started studies around 4pm. And had dinner between that.
Highlights of the day:
Eli read an Aesop fable about a tricky fox and a cat. And learned the value of having a plan as opposed to tricking your way through something. LOL! He says the tricky fox was NOT wise! LOL!
He has started writing the dates on his papers. *sigh* He is TOO big for me! :(
He had his 3rd flutophone class. And he knows all of his solfege pitches and where they go on the staff! But he hasn't played yet. They don't start him until lesson 10. It kind of reminds me of my apprenticeship. It isn't that you couldn't catch a baby...anyone can do that! It just takes time to soak it all in and to absorb it all before your hands will just do what they should along with using your hearts wisdom. Okay...off of birthing babies! LOL! My mind goes there often!
We played tic-tac-toe and around the world with his solfege pitches and he had a blast. He LOVES to play games in school. I need to do them more. I skip them a lot because he just knows his stuff. And I guess I think of games as a way to learn if you are having trouble. But he just loves to play. So I am going to try and do that more. :)
In science Eli worked on nutrition. And made a list of the foods he ate for lunch in the food groups they belong in. He likes to make lists. Which is just like me! :)
Remy did really well today. He remembered the F! I love it! Big smiles! :) He also colored a fire truck and made a fireman hat.
He loved every moment of it. And INSISTED that the fire engine be blue! Whatever! Matthew says to not sweat it. When we talked about firemen and stuff he knew that they were red in real life and we talked about why and what kind of job firemen do. He wants to visit a firehouse now. I am going to see if Charlotte wants to set it up to do with her boys at the firehouse in Shreveport. That way it isn't just my boys. We will see! :)
The world is safe for the night...fire engines are still red in our world and not blue...yet! HA HA!

Hi!
We loved doing nutrition and the food pyramid last year. That is when I took them to the grocery store and let each one of them pick out one thing from each food group. They each had their own basket and LOVED IT! We might have to do that again this year!
The firehouse on Finks Hideaway is really good about fieldtrips and touring it. We had a couple of Easter parties there when my kids were in school. If you want to go and want someone to go along with you, I will.
Also, I am in the process of trying to set up a field trip at a place in Ruston...an old farm. Madison went there once in the 3rd grade when they were in school and it was so cool. They got to milk a cow and feed babies calves. It was so cool. I will let you know if I get it set up and maybe you could ride along with us!!!
I will so be using your grocery trip idea! :) I would love it if you guys went with us to the firehouse! And of course we will come to the farm! :) I was going to email you about some stuff I have found out about lately...fun stuff for the kids to do.
Remy you just send that blue fire truck to nanna and we will ride it all around pensacola ok love you nanna
