Today, I fast with my theo class and will break the fast at 7:14 p.m. I am starving!
That didn't stop me from making pumpkin muffins for breakfast or throwing a roast into the crockpot for the family after I'm gone.
In the meantime, here's today's list of activities so far:
Reading
Eragon: Three chapters
Eyewitness: Islam (focused on five pillars and Ramadan especially)
Fall Eco-Journal
Projects
Caitrin, Liam and I created a leaf-falling journal. We marked 20 leaves with a permanent marker, numbering them one to twenty. Now we record the daily changes in their colors. We are learning the following terms:
pigment: color in the leaves
cholorophyll: the green pigment
carotenids: the yellow pigment
anthocyanins: the red pigment
These might be worth looking up for their origins. Not sure if they derive from Latin or Greek.
Computer
Liam is teaching Jacob to play: Winter Maul Wars. It's fun to hear him coaching and explaining to Jacob.
Liam has a new plan to alternate between writing and math each day. Jacob is continuing to do his MUS. Caitrin is reading.
