A break

Even during breaks, we are still learning. As evidence, this picture below of Brittani playing with her fuse beads (purler beads is the official name, but I got used to calling them fuse beads) on Friday. She woke up in rare form and fighting with her over anything, much less school work, was not happening. So what is she learning by using the fuse beads? Well, for one, hand eye coordination and fine motor skills, creative design, and problem solving/critical thinking skills.



She very carefully designed a boy and girl figure, a "dutch flower" as she calls the tulip, and a daisy type flower. I had been designing flags using the square template, and that opened up a new line of discussion as well... She has challenged me to create a Union Jack...

We have finished our Ancient Civilizations Book, as well as the Pre-Bio book, so saving up money to get the next set of those, which can be found atStory Of The World: Middle Ages and Biology Level 1 or if you are just interested in seeing what she is needing next, I try to keep her wish-list updated
