Day 27

Today's Activities:

• Reading -

1. Madelyn - Read Chapter 6 of Thimble Summer. Discussion: Feelings of frustration and embarrassment and how to handle them.
2. C & C - Read library books for last time.

• Singapore Math - I'm trying to use the base-10 blocks more with Catherine and Chloe. They have not had a lot of exposure to subtraction and the blocks seem to help tremendously. Madelyn took another test.

• Grammar lessons 14 & 15

• Field trip to zoo - We observed a spotted leopard stalking its neighbor, a black panther. We also observed the cheetahs and a very large hyena. The girls looked like the paparazzi taking pictures of all the animals.

• Visit to Family School - C & C exchanged valentines with their old class and some of Madelyn's classmates joined us at the park for a playdate.
