I Think We are Back on our A-Game

Today was a lovely school day with good attitudes.

We finished our Pennsylvania pages. The state flower is called Mountain Laurel. Because we call my sister, Laurel, Burns, Amy suggested we call the state flower Mountain Burns.

Mom Class was interviews with Amy and Noel. Amy and I read through an interview we had done at the beginning of the school year about what she wanted to do this year. We discussed what we really had done. It was fun. I was pleased to see there really was quite a bit that we did this year though it often didn't feel like it. I hope to do a few more interviews during these last few weeks we are officially doing school for this year.

Noel's activity was called Crazy Crowd. No idea why. She just made up lots of pretending involving chairs, a bathtub stage, a boat made of the couch, a deer (Amy) who kept pouncing everywhere, a store made of the girls' bedroom, lots of sleeping. Noel just liked telling everyone who they were and what they were to do. I thought that without encouragement to wrap up, Noel very likely would have gone on forever.

Amy and Eliza chose outside play for their activities. That's still to come. Although they said it's raining, so we'll see what really happens.

Closing class was painting nails. Amy earned it for a motivator. Eliza and Noel happily joined in. Noel and Amy read their Book of Mormon reading lesson to me for reading class.
