July Summer learning

Today we worked on making the colossus or Rhodes. We also practiced multiplication facts, did 20 minutes of reading, and worked on geography. We enjoyed a nice day at home.

Tuesday July 2nd

Today we ran to the store to get supplies for our 7 wonders of the ancient world project. We are currently working on the lighthouse at Alexandria. We also stopped by Goodwill and picked up some new games. We're re watching Liberty Kids in preparation for the 4th of July so this board game seemed to fit our Independence day theme. We played it and had fun but it was super right winged so I'm not sure we will be playing it again. The kids did their math reviews and 20 minutes of reading in the afternoon. After dinner we went to book and ice cream.

Westin and I dropped the kids off at summer camp today. Then we went to the Fredrick Meijer Gardens for music time. Westin enjoyed playing different instruments and singing along to the music. Then we went to The Score for lunch. It was his birthday today so he got free ice cream with his meal.
