A week in review
Last week Grandma and Grandpa drove in to spend time with their grandsons. The kids were excited to show them what they've been up to. Chance showed Grandma his geography notebooks. I think he has enjoyed this as he's never done any mapping or geography in the past. We're working our way through the states for US geography. In world geography we spent a couple weeks learning general terms. We spent 5 weeks learning and mapping North and Central America. We spent 2 weeks on South America before heading to Europe for the past 3 weeks. After 1 more week in Europe we're moving on to Africa.
Finn was excited to read Grandma some books. He's doing so well with his phonics he will probably move on to the next level next week.
They took the kids to Build-A-Bear to pick out a bear to make. I was shocked at how much they enjoyed it. I thought the Lego store next to it would be a bigger draw.
Grandma and Grandpa let them pick out a bear and accessories to put on their bears. Finn went all out adorning his velvet bear with glasses, t-shirt, shorts, and shoes. Chance picked a furry bear and bought glasses and reindeer antlers to put on his.
We took them to a home school roller skating session on Friday. Chance wanted to leave right after we got there but at the end of the 2 hour session he wished it would have lasted longer. We are spoiled by another skating rink that recently went through a renovation. This skate rink had an original wooden floor with skates that were in desperate need of repair. Finn took off on his own skates too which shocked all of us.
Both kids started gymnastics classes last week. Finn is doing really well in his swim and gym classes. Chance has never tried gymnastics before but he really wanted to try it.
