Thurs. June 11th

Xiao is done with school, and so is Austin. Connor, however, is not quite finished. I gave Connor a blank map of the world today, and he was supposed to place the 292 countries/states/provinces/territories on the map. He found that he could remember about 3/4 of the map, but he needed to refresh his memory on the rest. Therefore, Connor spent a few hours today playing geography games online using Sheppard software. I am also threatening a cumulative vocabulary test (300 words) so he brought out his flash cards for a bit to review. After that, Connor studied Chinese with Xiao, played Risk, read Thief, and went to horse-back riding lessons. At 7pm we attended the show Walking with Dinosaurs at the Blue Cross Arena. The show fit in nicely with Monday's study of fossils and rocks etc. Lucky timing, really.
