Long week, not much got done...

This week was a bit disorganised because we had many appointments.


We received the malas (a string of beads used in meditation, esp. for counting recitations; a Buddhist rosary). The kids were thrilled and put them on right away! Next week we'll explore the meaning and use of malas.

With Sébastien we worked on fractions. He's having a hard time so I printed several excercize sheets and we started working with those today. It's easier for him if we spend more time on each different type of operation on fractions than if we mix em all up.

He's done reading Jesus' biography so he will do his book report on Monday. He's also almost done translating The Faeries' Gift into French.

Ophélie did some maths (ancient nuneration systems and natural numbers) and she finished reading about marine life. She chose to do her book report on sharks.

She also took some time to familiarize herself with the iWeb software.

Let's hope next week will be a bit more productive!
