04/27/08- 05/03/08- Used books, new comics and ants

As if we need more books…

We started out the week with our county library’s book sale. We went on the last day when everything was ½ price. The kids scarfed up insect/nature and craft books. I found some plant field guides and a couple of books on science experiments. We made it out of the crowded warehouse for $10.

We ended the week with our annual observance of Free Comic Book Day. There were a

good number of kid friendly comics this year.

While the kids were choosing their comics, ds’s ants arrived! He received an ant farm for his birthday and we’ve been waiting more than six weeks for the inhabitants to get here. (I should have gone with my first instinct, which was to just catch some outside.) After getting them settled into their new gel home, the kids pulled up some chairs and watched for longer than even I thought possible.

In between- Ds completed 5 math lessons and 3 language arts lessons. Dd completed the same number of exercises in her respective books. We spent a couple of hours at the library. We attended our weekly homeschool group park day and stayed just 2 hours. They both attended their art classes. Free reading time was plentiful.
