The rest of our textbooks finally arrived this week, so both boys are working a "full course load," as it were. I'm getting some resistance, but I hope that will diminish as the routine becomes, well, routine. So far, math is Seth's favorite subject, while Gabriel still loves history the best. They're doing tremendously well. We've set up a science lab journal and an art portfolio. Monday's lab was identifying cell parts by examining a chicken egg, and the dog got to eat the egg when we were done. Homeschooling is good for the whole family.
The microscope has stayed set up, which was really convenient when the exterminator came to evaluate our ant problem. We popped a few of the beasts under a cover slide, and he was able to quickly identify the species. Caribbean Crazy Ants are bad news, but that's another post for another blog. :p
Current bedtime reading: The Emerald City of Oz, by Frank Baum. This is the sixth book in the Oz series that Rick has read to them -- the classics endure.
