We’re back, Ani’s 6

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

We got back from Florida on Thursday afternoon. Ani’s 6th birthday Wednesday was spent mostly in the car. She didn’t seem to mind, though. She was more irritated at me when I said we weren’t doing school on Friday.

We started school at 9 this morning. I moved a load of laundry to the dryer and put another load in the washer just before we started.
Warm-up: I wrote “My favorite shape is” on the whiteboard. Cameron said he doesn’t know what his is. Ani wrote that her favorite is every one. And then she […]

Ani insisted that the mail would know she had finished her workbook and bring her more things. I guess she was right since we got the package from Amazon.Com and Rainbow Resource yesterday.
We started school at 10.
Warm-up: I wrote on the whiteboard “My favorite day of the week is”. Cameron said his was today. He […]
