Haiku and abacuses

Today we started working on our book of Haiku. The children had fun creating these. Zoë wrote 5 today, and Aiden wrote 2. We're going to put them all together in a nice scrapbook that I bought so we can share them with everyone at the end of our unit.

I also found out Zoë's school schedule today. She's going to be taking art and p.e. at the public school. Art will be on Tuesday mornings and p.e. will be on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. It may end up being a lot more running around, but hopefully it will be worth it.

I've finally convinced Aiden to go to school for art and p.e. too. Now I just need to call his school and set that up. Unfortunately, they won't be in the same building because K-2nd is at one school and 3rd-5th is next door. More running around I suppose.

Abacus work is getting easier. Zoë struggled to finish her homework last night, but things went a little smoother this morning. Aiden took a little bit to get the concept of adding, but he's off and running with it now. Tomorrow we're going to learn subtraction.
