So, we started as usual today; our poems were again from the Winnie the Pooh poems, and we read a chapter in Our Island Story.  I tried to find pics of Roman galley ships online (the chapter we read was about Julius Caesar coming and fighting against the Britons) but had no luck.  M was very fussy so it cut short my time.  We did French, but D wasn't too interested in it, and I wanted to practise for myself, so he made himself a snack.  He decided that he wanted to practise school again, so I told him it was math time, and he could sit at the table and I printed up some math worksheets for him.  While he did that, I printed up some French colouring pages (to learn the colours) and we talked about them, then while he coloured I marked his math sheets.  While he finished the colouring I "packed" him a lunch; after putting away his things, he (and S) ate at the table.  I am amazed at how well-behaved the kids are when they play school (S was joining in with everything).  After lunch, I told D it was recess time.  He isn't feeling well (has a cold), so I told him he could choose to go outside or stay at the table and do something quietly, like reading, colouring, or more worksheets.  He waffled a bit, and eventually decided he didn't want to practise school any more.  He says he doesn't want to go to school at all, but I have a feeling he will be asking to go again once the girls we babysit start talking about pizza day or gym or something.  I wouldn't mind enrolling him so he could see what it was really like, but I don't want to be a big pain for the school.

I'm doing well with my reading challenge... almost done Coppermine Journey and I think I'm starting The Chosen next.
