The Blue Planet dvd introduced Z to the albatross which reminded me of the famous Coleridge poem Rime of the Ancient Mariner. So I remembered this morning to read all seven parts of the poem to Z (with a quick "cliff notes" version first so she would have some idea of what was going on. It is very long but Z has always loved poetry and she likes Coleridge too.
This morning she was reading some poetry to herself, a Flower Fairy book.
We both really like her new math book, this morning it had her running around counting the doors and windows in the house and seeing if she could jump longer on her left foot or right, to teach greater, less than and equal.
We read the stories of Jacob and Esau and Jacob and Rachel. I couldn't really explain why it was okay or Jacob to steal Esau's birth right... or why Labon tricked Jacob into marrying Leah... I may study up on it tonight and see what she is supposed to be learning from that.
Z motivated herself to double her piano homework and she has lessons this afternoon.
We have Japanese lessons tomorrow - the first time since we got back from Florida. But I feel good about it. Yesterday we practiced our hiragana and today our conversation.
