TGIF! It was a great day, but the weekend is now upon us!
The kiddos worked hard and we were pretty much all done with the basics by lunch (our Friday goal). Nandry and Boaz played a funny trick on me, acting like they weren't working on their map, then running when they heard the lunch bell. BUT, they had finished everything, and worked pretty much independently the whole time! So that was an awesome surprise! :-)
Today, Reda Anderton, who, with her family, were some of the first living out here in Bakaland, came out to stay. She helped me with some medical questions (she's a doctor) via email when I was first Cameroon-bound. So it was nice to finally meet her in person!
We did a science experiment with magnets later on, where two of them wound each other up on their strings, hanging from the table. It was pretty cool!
Then we had music - we talked about Beethoven, then learned about the Star-Spangled Banner! I actually taught using the same story about the Star-Spangled Banner when subbing for my friend earlier this school year! :-)
Then, after prepping for next week for a bit during our afternoon rain, I went and worked on some crafty stuff - more jewelry making with the shells and glitter and wire and beads.
And after dinner, we watched Home Alone with Macaulay Culkin - the kids loved it, and I loved it all the more now that I am an adult and understood little things I missed as a kid. Really a great movie. :-)
Happy Weekend!
