Our homeschooling day

After breakfast and chores I took Z bike riding. Normally we do all our academics before lunch but it is getting too hot for me to run around outside in the afternoon's so since I have to run along beside Z on her bike we are doing in the morning.

After biking Z worked on her 2nd grade math book.

Then she translated some Japanese adjectives from Romanji into Hiragana for our adjective rhyming book.

Then she practiced four piano songs and also did this exercise in her music theory book that she _really liked. She was finding enharmonic notes - like a B flat is also an A sharp and a F flat is an E natural. She really liked that and asked me to make up extra problems for her to work on. *heh*

Then we had lunch with Pere and watch Iron Chef.

After lunch Z had piano lessons. It was a very good lesson. She played Ode to Joy, the Merry March and another new song that looks really hard. Then her teacher asked if she still wanted to play Clock Shop at the June recital or Ode to Joy. Z talked the teacher into letting her play both, and she already is singing a Mozart song too.

Then we went to the library and Z got an Agatha Christie book. We came home and she read the short story - The Adventure of the Italian Nobleman.

Then we watched the last Poirot episode on the DVD we had. I suppose we should have done science or geography or something. But I did tie in some Belgian history during WWII into the episode for her.

Then she did some moer bike riding, played with her girls in the neighborhood, ate dinner, took a bath, read her Japanese rhyming book to Pere and looked at a map puzzle we did and found some places on it.

Then she listened to another chapter of Heidi before bed and read me a few pages from her Foxtrot comic book. Now she reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
