Homeschooling anytime

This morning we listened to our new Japanese Children's Songs CD during breakfast. It was very cute. It comes with cards that have a picture pertaining to the song and what I think are lyrics on the back.

After breakfast Z worked on some word problems in her math book. She wasn't even sure if they were really math, but she said she liked that. :)

After that we went out to Michaels. I still need to make the Audry II prop for Z's talent show. As I shopped around the store Z kept finding parts of fake flowers and plants on the ground and was "collecting" them into our basket. By the time we went up to check out she must have had twenty of them. The man at the register said she could have them all. So now we have free craft supplies. :)

While we were at Ross Z read a whole book of children's poem, many of them she read aloud.

Then on the way to Target she wanted to play "Spelling Bee", she was inspired by the Scripps Bee. She spelled correctly words like Thousand, Month and Friend. (Yesterday when we were driving home from the Getty she said "I can spel Chromosome". Pere and I were like "really???" She tried and spelled it "C-r-o-m-o-z-o-n-e". Not bad though.)

Then we just talked about spelling some - we talked about "word families" like star, far, car and how they are spelled differently than "are" and "marr".

We got home and watched the rest of the Scripps Bee that we had recorded on our DVR.

Then she worked on her music theory book, writing Major triads and practiced some new songs. Now she is just doing her own thing, which is practicing Minor scales, faster and faster.. She loves the way minor sounds. (So does her Pere I think.)

So now we are off to go ice skating with some friends... maybe I'll have some pictures to post later.
