New Stuff

This week was our first week of new classes. On Tuesdays Julia still has her Kindergarten class, then off to pick up Karley from preschool and lunch at home, then back to school for her Music Appreciation class. She LOVED the class. She told me that it was a lot like Kindermusik and that so far it is her favorite of the new classes. On Wednesdays she has a drawing class first thing in the morning, then home for some more work and lunch, and then back again in the afternoon for Spanish class. I think she will really get a lot out of the drawing class. All the students draw an object (usually an animal) from an overhead projector image. Julia couldn't believe that the whole class all they did was draw the eyes of a panda! I can't wait to see her finished project. The Spanish class seems to be continuing from the first semester. Perhaps this is the reason that she says it is her least favorite class so far. I think she is realizing that it is going to be a little work.

Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays we have free to get our things done at home. Thursdays Karley also has preschool, so we still have to get up and out of the house early. At home we still are doing math, language (alternating between phonics, grammar, vocabulary, and handwriting), ancient history, and life science. The girls still have gymnastics on Saturday mornings, and next week Julia starts piano lessons.....whew!
