This Week… A Light Week
A Much Needed Winter Break
Since the school year began we really haven’t taken a lot of time off. I finally realized I have hit a wall and simply needed a break.
This was an off week for gym so we did not have gym on Monday.
Tuesday I did require Little Man to do school, it was a regular school day. He also had piano practice on Tuesday evening. He’s working through Arabesque. which is such a beautiful piece of music. Yet, his mind is moving faster than his fingers and slowing down is difficult for him. So he worked on slowing down the tempo so he can work on muscle memory to build speed later.
See him practicing on my YouTube channel. While your there, be sure to subscribe so you can see all the latest Great Peace Academy videos.
Bible:
He finished up lesson 310 of Bible Study Guide for All Ages which about David sparing Saul’s life a second time.
Reading:
I realized he had not finished reading “The Long Winter” from the Little House series, so he spent most of Tuesday afternoon reading the rest of that.
Math:
He worked through algebra one step and two step equations, as well as some of the 4th grade mastery challenges.
Chess Club:
I’ve been busy this week in my blogging circles.

I would love for my children to learn how to play the piano! Problem is- we don’t have room for one. Enjoy your time with your hubby when he gets home!

That photo is at his teacher’s house. We have an old upright in our home. My father-in-law did some work in trade for one. I will enjoy time with my husband.

Thanks for hosting! It’s always fun to see what other families like ours are doing. My kids can play chess, but I never learned.

I learned to play chess, but just the basics. He has already shown a greater understanding for strategy than I have.
