It’s been a busy week.
Busier than usual.
It’s been a good week, don’t get me wrong. But Monday was our usual routine of music lessons, library, and symphony rehearsals. And Tuesday had some extra stuff thrown in on top of our afternoon of therapies for three of my younger crew. Wednesday found us at a local historic site for a soggy but engaging field trip with our CC community. And even though we had a lovely two-week rest from our normal Community Day, we still met with many of those friends and fellow learners for a children’s book club Thursday.
But today…
We’re home.
Today we’re going to drink hot cider while we do math, and read several long chapters of our current read-aloud. Then we’ll diagram some sentences and play “fortunately, unfortunately” as a means of writing a group story and mapping its conflicts and resolutions.
Today we’ll start studying Peter the Great. We’ll take a tour of Russia via YouTube, make a batch of Russian tea cakes, and eat them over tea and poetry. We’ll practice instruments. We’ll play a new “I have, who has?” math game I recently printed.
We’ll school. At home. Quite novel for this week!
