DEL- The boys looked at a number and had to circle the same number one minute later from a row of number. Both got 100%. They then wre give a set of three commands and had to do them one minute later. ‘A’ can follow two commands easily, but struggles with three. ‘R’ can do one command easily, two occasionally, and cannot recall three after one minute.

Science
We read more on plants. We learned that mold is a plant that grows on food that is old. Mushrooms are a fungus and grow from specks called ‘spores’. A Venus Flytrap is a carnivorous plant that eats insects and frogs. (We watched video of this.) Poison ivy is a vine that has three leaves and is shiny. Don’t touch it or you will get skin blisters.

The boys practiced writing numbers 1 to 10 on a dotted worksheet.
This totally reminded me of homeschooling my kids when they were younger. It was such a sweet time (three of them are middle school/high school now). I'll get to do it all over again with #4, who is just 20 months. So much easier than highschool. 🙂
Okay, I have to share with you — the tree octopus thing was a joke. I'm so tired today that I actually believed it. Someone really went all out with that website! I figured it had to be a joke when they said the natural predators of the tree octopus were the bald eagle and Sasquatch. And that we should donate to Greenpeas. LOL!!! I think I'll have to go back and edit my post. 😉
