Sunday- Welcome to the first week of the new school year. Because Caiden missed his last year of Awana last year we asked and he was very excited that he gets to do one more year. That means Mike and I have Sunday evenings to ourselves once again. The kids had a great time and I'm so glad they are back. It feels good to have life back to the way it was before the pandemic.
Awana
Monday - We started our day with our annual scavenger hunt. Then we went out for donuts at Marge's. We came back home and in history we are talking about the age of discovery. We built sail boats and talked about Portugal's contributions to the age of discovery. In science we talked about matter and the 3 states of matter. We talked about how each state of matter is different and the particles that make up each state. We used balloons to show that solids have particles that are packed tight together and liquids the particles move more easily and how gas has particles that move all over the place.
Westin did his sight words and all 3 kids read. All 3 kids worked on there hand writing and math and spelling. Westin worked on his writing but Caiden and Maddy will be taking a class on Thursday so they won't have an assignment until then. Caiden and Maddy did have vocab. For lunch we picked up taco bell then ate it in the basement. After we ate Westin played a round of wonderful world with Mike and I. We ended up canceling running club because a bad storm hit us hard. When the storm passed Caiden and I went for a run. We then picked up dinner and went to wedgwood park. We fed the ducks there and then the Thelens joined us. It was a great first day of school.

Tuesday- We only did math and reading in the morning. The kids built lots of towers with K'nex. We also enjoyed watching a tree frog on the back porch. We had lunch and then the kids went to Lingual Learners in the afternoon. I got a ton of stuff done. We met up with the Bibers after class at the park then went home for dinner.
