Hi all! This post is just to give you some idea of what we do every day. This is what we did on Monday.
We started with violin. Then the kids did Singapore Math. At break they ran around the house and helped me make apple pie. Then it was back to Singapore Math.
For math enrichment, we looked at shapes. I drew a number shapes and had the kids identify them. I asked them what shape was missing. Solomon answered triangle, which is what I was hoping for. Nova answered circle, which was also true. I added the triangle and asked them what was special about it. Solomon figured out that all the other shapes could be split up into triangles. I let the kids try their hand at that. Next we went over the different types of triangles. From there we talked about angles a little bit and did an exercise to prove that all triangles angles add up to 180 degrees. Solomon finished early, so he spent some time on http://www.mathsisfun.com/triangle.html messing around with triangle angles.
Play group was at the park with the big hill and the weeping willow. We played for over two hours.
In the evening Ariadne's insistence that she eat too was overwhelming. Charlotte graciously allowed her to borrow her bib, and we broke out the baby food grinder. Broccoli seemed the best choice. Officially her first foods were pear and apple, which she grabbed right out of my hands, but this was the first time it was on purpose (from a parents perspective). It is also arguably her half birthday! Since there is no September 31st, we aren't quite sure if was yesterday, or is today.
