This week Academy Chez Viner studied about Ancient China and Ancient Africa so today we prepared two dishes in honor of those locations. I prepared a fried rice to represent China, as we studied about how well rice grew in the Yellow River Valley. The boys and I also prepared an African chicken and fig recipe suggested by our Story of the World material. THIS chicken activity is much more acceptable, as opposed to the mummify a chicken activity suggested in the chapter on Ancient Egypt! I've posted the recipe and photos. It came our super yummy!
Yesterday the boys had their weekly swimming lesson so while they were in their class, I swam a light workout. After, Graham had a short play on the playground (Will has decided that teenagers are too old play on playgrounds) then we climbed down the rocks to the water's edge to throw rocks and look at creatures left behind as the tide went out. We will be doing lessons on sea life and tidal flow at a later date and I can't wait! We then stopped at Nani's school on our way home so that we could walk home with her and her friend.
Oh, and big news... We have finally officially been approved and received our exemption for homeschooling the boys!
So glad you are now official!! Would hate to have to visit you in jail for truancy.
