July 26th

Today we got back to our lessons. We are still learning about light and authority in Konos. We studied the light bulb and Thomas Edison's part in creating a new longer lasting filament. The Princess drew a diagram of a light bulb and it's parts while the Prince helped look up vocabulary words in the dictionary. Both kids practiced drilling math facts and the Princess worked on review work. The kids have really lost aptitude in math and hopefully patience and lots of drill will bring them back up to speed. The Princess and I went to the library in search of new books and videos. This evening, I gave spelling tests and we took a Konos field trip. We drove downtown to see what kinds of lights we could identify and then went to Home Depot for further "study". Today was definitely more productive than yesterday.
