bits

We had a nice meetup at the library today.  Esme and the little boy played a lot of games and even shared a book together in the middle of it.  She read the Watermelon Seed to the little boy because he didn't know how to read yet - but they both thought it was very funny.  Before that Esme and I did some science reading, vocabulary from the article, a matching game for the vocab, rounding to hundreds, (worksheet and matching game) and something I found on the Salamander Math site for math puzzles.  She did well on all of the math.  We did Minecraft and talked about Spanish words.  After she spent some allowance at the dollar store we came home.  I called break for a few hours and then later we made dinner together.  I had made a reference at the library to Zorro, and she didn't remember who he was.  Daddy found the movie and we watched it before bed.  (Esme says it is a long movie!)

She drew the measuring, marking and cutting card for tomorrow again (again, her luck!)...which we hadn't actually gotten to do.   Also addition and subtraction with carrying and borrowing. 

Vocab words: (Tarantula science article: The Truth about Tarantulas)
innocuous
hazard
lethal
aggressive
encounter
peasants
novel
deter
offensive
defensive
specimen
barber (for some reason she threw that one in there)
reputation
local

I'll be testing her again on the matching game for the words at the end of the week.
