This was the first try from a pattern I sketched earlier this year and never did anything with... some hangups trying to get the tentacle undersides to match up in the middle.. but, pretty good for a 'shoot for the moon' sort of try. I almost gave up twice - but I'm glad I didn't.l. because he is cute.
Esme wants to bring him with to the Japanese restaurant today. We're going to do some math on Khan Academy - and then head out after that. She bought a little toy bird with some of her Christmas money and she is eating some fruit salad. We talked about how kiwis and strawberries are different but same.. and she had this odd question this morning if chopped onion and rice were the same thing - and why is one raw and one is cooked...sometimes what she springs on me sounds like an alien traversing our culture... it would never have occurred to me to think chopped onion and rice were similar, they look similar - but they are entirely different.. and she wants to see how.
On to math.. update later.
9.15a - drawing animals
10a - store and bank, handling money
10.30a - break
11.50a - kahn academey math - did the bar graphs and finished the word problems, did some review
12.50p - break
1.30 - sushi place
2.30 - library - building Atlantis and towers with two other children, reading some of her book, playing a music program with different instruments and patterns.
4 - break
5p - Reading aloud ("Some Pig", EB White)
5.15p - spelling - writing - homonyms etc...
5.35p - break
6p - Monopoly (we introduced the idea of being shortchanged, and traded properties so she could build houses)
7.30p - done
Now she's making a villainry flag - because she will only help a little, so they don't know she is a superhero. It is a pirate flag with a razor saw and a shark on it.
9.15a - drawing animals
I liked her rhino - thought we might make a toy like it later. She said she scribbled and it
looked like a rhino, so she drew the rest of it in.
