Again, today was just too nice to spend inside doing schoolwork! The temperature was warm but the wind was blowing strong. We had lunch out, went to the park for awhile, visit with my parents and went out to dinner with them. Our morning was a tough one but once we got out in the afternoon, everything was fine.
One of things I love about homeschooling is that when we want a day (or a few) off, we can take them. Jude is so far ahead in his schoolwork right now that it isn't a problem if we skip school to thoroughly enjoy great weather. I anticipate doing this quite a bit once April rolls around so I'm sure we'll be working hard once it gets cold again so that we can take off on perfect-weather-days.
We finished reading the first Hardy Boys book. Jude was very much excited to finish it. Tonight before bed we read an Ameila Bedelia book but I'm sure we'll be diving in to another chapter book pretty soon.
Both Jude and Audrey absolutely love the show Wild Kratts on PBS. I don't mind that they watch it because they really are learning about animals. All throughout the day Jude will inform me of all sorts of different animal facts that he learned while watching. He's also had a renewed interest in wild animals because of Wild Kratts so we've gotten animal books and magazines at the library recently, and he's been playing with his animal figures again.
I much prefer his interest in animals and Hardy Boys books to his Star Wars obsession (which seems to be waning for now)! :)
