It was a rather grey day, and after yesterday's hike we didn't feel like doing much of anything. So we didn't.
Maia worked on some math homework that we had brought along. Her teacher had prescribed one math problem per day, plus daily reading and practicing her cursive writing. I have to admit that we haven't kept up with the reading, though Maia is reading comfortably in French these days, but we have been diligent with the math problems and should have them all done by the time we get home.
We got Solanme to practice writing lowercase letters, since she tends to forget a few when she is writing, though we have discovered that when she does them in a row, she knows almost all of them. She did
complain a little at the work. We asked her why she complained since her teacher said that she was always such a good little worker. Solanne explained that she much preferred the work she got at school, with the letters printed as examples and pictures of various animals on them. I guess I should have asked her teacher for those sheets!
The rest of the day, the girls made up their own games: they have their dolls, Clicky and Vanille (their stuffed animals), some puzzles, stickers, and a little Barbie tent that fits either dolls or stuffies. Derek and I managed to read, as well as plan out our future bathroom renovations. We've seen a number of different apartment layouts and it has given us lots of fodder for the reno fire.
We didn't set foot outside, and that suited us just fine for the day.
