Schoolwork Accomplished:
*read The Magic School Bus: Lost in the Solar System by Joanna Cole to all the kids
*Leanna took notes from Space: Answers to Questions About Voyage and Discovery by Martin Mobberley
*We did a physical demonstration of how the earth revolves around the sun and the moon revolves around the earth
*Leanna did a sticker activity where she placed all the plannets in the correct order by distance from the sun.
*Lifeskills-as a surprise for me Leanna did laundry and dishes (with Justin's willing help) and cleaned up the kitchen.
*Leanna played a mission to mars game from Nasa's kids site (you choose items that would be useful to take in space) and she explored several solar system websites.
*Filled in her new address on an envelope and chose a stamp to paste on in the correct spot. (a bit juvenille for her, but I figured it would reinforce her new address, which she needs to memorize).
*Several pages of math from the comprehensive curriculum book.
*the boys did pictures with the dot to dot markers and were active participants in the solar system activities.
