We also spent time reading poems this morning. We read a Shel Silverstein poem "Where the Sidewalk Ends" and then they each wrote poems about sidewalks. They were so funny and I think they enjoyed seeing how creative they could be.
After this, it was more math with some games the kids created. Wes and Tyler love playing Pass the Pigs and some crazy math-frenzied poker game with dice. Maddie and Tyler played Monopoly for an hour this aftrenoon, and then were looking into mortages and trying to figure out the best strategies to win the game.
Since their regular seat work was done, and I'd worked out, all three started bugging me to go to Happy Hour! It sounds so wrong, doesn't it? Our Long John Silvers has half price lemonade slushies from 2-5 and they call it Happy Hour. Anyway, when we got there the gal rang up our order at full price. She had NO IDEA what half of $1.79 would be and then told me, "I'm not good at math but am good with money~can you figure this out??" Now, I'm not a genius but how can you be "good at" money but not math, lol? The kids had a clear idea of why a basic knowledge of computation is so important.
Now tonight, Wes and I are excited to watch the start of College Football, the official religion of the South!! I'm grateful for kids who are excited about math, poetry, and football! Thanks God, for the small things I get to share each day with these children you blessed me with.
