Week of May 19th

This is our first official week of summer vacation. Not much has changed, though. The boys still have most of the day free to play and work on their projects. The only difference is they won't be working on math or handwriting until school starts up again in August. They are still taking piano lessons and practicing daily. 

 Monday

Mostly hanging out and not doing much. We went for a walk in the morning.
I played Super Mario Bros on the Wii with Ben.
After Monster Jam on Sunday, Tommy decided he wants an RC monster truck.
We read aloud from our Edison biography, a part where young Tom wants to buy chemicals for his laboratory, so he does jobs around the neighborhood to earn money. Tommy decided he wanted to do the same thing, so he washed my van to earn money towards his truck.

Tuesday

Outside play
Video games (new geometry and spelling games on my iPad)
Went out to lunch as a family with Daddy
Tommy made a mini monster truck race track out of dirt
Read aloud from Edison biography. Learned about slavery and the Underground Railroad.

Wednesday

Video games (too many, in my opinion!)
Outside play
Edison biography read aloud

Daddy finished reading Harry Potter aloud to the boys

Thursday

Exploratorium.
Watched some YouTube videos about learning basic Spanish.

Friday

Park day with homeschool friends
Watched Harry Potter for family movie night. We have a rule that we have to read the book before watching the movie. The boys seemed to appreciate seeing the story come to life on the screen.
