chanda finished two book reports today: the borrowers and a story from the dear america series about a young girl attending the perkins school for the blind in boston. (she usually sticks with the my america series, but this one from the older series peaked her interest).
she's grown much more patient with sitting and writing her reports, and looks forward to telling me about the stories. i'm often fascinated by some of the details she remembers, and how much of the story she can relate.
m and c began their "theory in a box" program that is offered through their music school. i had been wanting them to attend the classes at the school. it's offered to students for a reduced rate (but, hmmm, not reduced enough unfortunately) . . so when they offered the home theory program for a fraction of the school class cost (and a fraction of the actual online program cost), greg and i jumped at it. so far it is going well and both enjoy it (even if it does make me cringe to see them staring at the computer screen!)
m went up to her dance class with ellen robbins in the afternoon. chanda played i spy out the front apartment window with her binoculars and sent messages down to the lower levels with her jump rope pulley system. korrina read some chemistry. i tried to make a decision about what botany books to use this year, when would be a good library day for our schedule, and made dinner. we had another recipe from deborah madison's soup book: creamy watercress with leek and potato.
