Not another blog by Julie?!

Indeed, I am an addict. But actually, I'm just lazy. It's easier for me to record our daily activities if I blog what they are. My records from last year are atrocious.

So let's get started.

Monday, October 3

Mondays are co-op days.

Caitrin: violin, discovering music, blood and guts, music and drama, art

Jacob: Spanish 1, Discovering Artists, Let's Eat, Swing Dance

Liam: chess club, art history and P.E.

These are constants.

I intend to do more with natural math after learning all about Living Math. Tonight, I took a brave step and attempted several kinds of problems without offering solutions. The three games came from Family Math: Target Addition, Balloon Ride and Ten Card Arrangement.

I loved Caitrin and Liam's tenacity to not let me give hints. They were totally committed to solving what turned out to be difficult problems without my help. The Ten Card Arrangment took us over a half an hour and they each solved it by themselves and were so thrilled!

We rounded out the evening with Old Maid.

That's it for Monday.
