Today we had a laid back day. Normally on Wednesday Shelby will be attending Grace Harbor Learning for her Extra Curricular classes.
Her schedule will be (not in any particular order)
School from 8:45 until 2:30
Homeroom
Art
Music
PE
Lunch
Spanish
Public Speaking
So all we did today is do one copy work exercise (bible verse) and one 15 minute reading lesson.
Shelby then sat down and put together her "Story of Ping" lap book. We finally have everything she wanted to put into it completed (except I need to get some photo's of her at the Duck pond printed). So I put together the blank folder pieces for her (so she would have a book) and she put everything together. It has turned out pretty good for her first lap book.
She will do an oral presentation to daddy on Friday. She was VERY proud of her work and has retained pretty much everything we learned over the summer while studying the "Story of Ping". She even did answered some reading comprehension questions orally yesterday and knew the answers to most without needing to read the story again. I am a believer in the "Five in a Row" way of learning. All of the hands on projects has really helped.
Matthew was not feeling well today and played a few board games. I hope it is just a summer cold or allergies.
We also went to Nana's tonight to see if she could fix both of the kids hair. We decided to just comb over the longer hair on him and use gel to cover the hole. Once it gets a little longer we can cut it shorter. I really just don't want to shave him bald and that is how short it is in that one spot.
Now Shelby is a different story. Her hair was so butchered in the front and underneath on the right hand side that it had to go short. My mom ended up layering it too because Shelby has really thick and wavy hair. It just looked too heavy without the layers. I think it turned out cute. She will probably wear a headband until her bangs grow out a little bit. What is bad is my mom did not really touch her bangs at all except to even out the longer pieces. Hopefully now Shelby will not play beauty shop with her brother anymore. Matthew told her she looked beautiful though and that daddy would love it. Shelby is not too sure what she thinks. She is a girly girl and likes her hair long.
