Weekly Wrap-Up: Days 87-91

S makes his 1st shot

We've completely just over 1/2 of our legally-required "instruction days"!

 C's 2nd Rummikub Game

Over the weekend J had his first basketball game. Although his team played hard, they weren't a match for a bigger, more experienced team and lost 24-40. C learned to play Rummikub...and doesn't want to stop! (And yes, she beat me! ((sighs)) LOL) S had his first Basketball Skills and Drills and LOVED it!

J's World History Timeline

We were INCREDIBLY busy on Tuesday! Phew! Not only did we get school assignments completed (mostly) in the morning, but we headed into the city to get new library books and videos, grocery shopped, mailed out a package at the P.O., and had basketball practice (C) and Boy Scouts (J) in the early evening. (S didn't make OT as he was feeling sick.) And A made a turkey dinner!

Snow-covered Spruce Tree

And then the snow came on Wednesday and all our outside-the-home activities were canceled for the afternoon. We were able to spend a fun, relaxed couple of hours on our Winter Wednesday Nature Studies, playing outside in the snowstorm, and watch some new movies from the library. With S and I still feeling "under the weather", we needed a day at home.  

J had Not Math Math class in the morning on Thursday after we shoveled out. They made abacuses during class and will learn how to use them next week. J also had basketball practice on Friday, but otherwise our week wrapped up right at home.
