April 27th and 28th

You'll notice that I am not blogging everyday anymore. Upon review, I found that I was getting quite repetitive. I do want to log what we accomplish, but I think blogging every few days will make it more interesting reading. Yesterday, I had Connor's schedule tightly packed. No more vacation time! We went to daily Mass, did Math pages, a unit in the vocabulary book, finished the book The Ranger's Apprentice, wrote three letters (and addressed the envelopes), responded to a writing prompt on the book White Fang, practiced Chinese, practiced guitar, and went to cross fit. Today, after Mass and math, Connor spent a whole lot of time answering essay questions on White Fang. We went over the proper way to cite a book and quotations. This afternoon we went to the bookstore to buy new school books (Treasure Island, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Tom Sawyer and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy). It was interesting watching Connor interact with the person at the information desk at Borders. He confidently approached her and discussed the new series written by Flanagan, and the release of book five. Connor is allowed to read one "fluff" book for every three classic books, and he is loves this Ranger's Apprentice series. After the bookstore, we went to Chinese class. At 5pm, Connor created 63 flashcards with Chinese phrases, and then he settled down to read Tom Sawyer. Yep, my blogs are getting boring. Oh well, at least I am keeping track of what we do all day.
