This week, Ruby started doing two pages a day in a science workbook I got for her. Each page layout is a short essay, vocabulary words and a page of questions. Yesterday's topic was dinosaurs. All day long, the whole family pondered the question, "If dinosaurs were colorblind, would they evolve camouflage capabilities?" Scientists don't know if dinosaurs were colorblind or whether they used camouflage. Something to think about!
Ruby finished the Diary of Ben Uchida. I'm halfway through and it's a great book. Ruby is reading Weedflower. It's the same subject matter, but her cousin Alexis recommended it, so we thought now would be a good time to read it.
This morning, Ruby did her practicing, science pages and then grammar on freerice.com. Coco came for creative writing while I was at piano. They worked on "stream of consciousness" writing. Then math. Ruby still has another half-hour of practicing to do after she reads, and while I teach violin. Before ballet, we will try to discuss her science assignment and go into the end of WWII while we make tomato basil soup. Good smells always help me learn! :) We have to end that unit this week and get started on Asia. We'll start with a novel set in Japan, so it will be a good transition from the Japanese internment camp novels. all in all, Ruby is a great student. We're having fun.
