Granted, one of these lessons involved sledding down the big hill across the street, and observing how one's velocity is affected by the amount of grass and mud poking through one's sled trail (this is about as far into physics as I can go!).
Our winter term is off to a somewhat creaky start, as always seems to be the case in January. It's never as easy to get motivated for the spring semester as it is in the fall. We're tired out from Christmas travel and festivities; the weather is nasty; colds and flu are going around. A snow day or MLK weekend seems to put us right back into vacation mode, from which it's hard to drag ourselves back out. But classes have started at ProfDad's and my colleges now, and Dagfari's various "extracurricular" classes are starting up. So we're getting back into the swing of things.
D is taking another acting/improv class, a homeschool drama class (we hope), and he has started ballet class. He's really into the ballet, and has taken to dancing around the house and making up his own ballets. Last night he did one inspired by Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights , which was interesting, to say the least.
Dagfari's current reading list:
- The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett
- The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis
- The View from Saturday by E. L. Konigsburg
- Shakespeare After All by Marjorie Garber
