1. Steve spending the week with us and helping/doing home schooling. He is a natural teacher and the children love his teaching style. I do as well. It was a great week and I hope we can do something like this every year.
2. Listening to my children talk about math the way they normally talk about movies, books or video games. Steve taught Z the "magic" behind the 9 times table - Z was so excited that he was telling his sisters all about it as we drove to lunch. K already knows the magic, so the two of them talked and laughed about how cool math is and all the different "magic" of math. Pretty darn cool.
3. Working hard all week so we could take Friday off. The children helped me find my Halloween clothes (we are being pikmin this year), went to the library and to the park. It was a great day and so relaxing.
4. Gorgeous weather all week - made it nice to walk, ride bikes and play at the park. It would be wonderful if the weather could be this great year round, but I guess the cold weather makes me appreciate the nice days so much more.
5. I love watching my children create. This week, they each took the poem "Caterpillar" by Christina G. Rossetti and re-created it through their preferred medium. S colored a picture, Z used LEGO and K cut out the different pieces from paper (so she could tell the poem with the cut-outs). Each child did a great job of capturing the poem.
