Beginning of the week

Mondays are usually a little difficult for us. It isn't so easy to get started again, especially since we didn't do anything over the weekend due to the winter storm warning. Though in our particular neighborhood we didn't experience anything too awful. We thought we better play it safe and stay at home, which was really nice and cozy. Which made the start of this week really hard :)
We started out school day a bit later than intended, but it all went well. Jeremy did one whole math lesson from Math U See in about 30 min! Yes! He really had fun doing it and I enjoy to see that he has fun and understands this part of math easily. In Science he is doing Human Anatomy and Physiology from Jeannie Fulbright this year. It is a good curriculum and has some really fun and easy experiments. Boys really seem to like those, the girls, in general didn't care much about experiments. Anyway, Mrs. Fulbright came out with an audiobook for Anatomy, which Jeremy listened to and followed along in the science book for a little. Then he decided that he wanted to color some pages from the accompanying student journal while he listened to the audiobook. This was really awesome for me, because while he was learning, I was able to make food! I was surprised how much he retained from listening. So we had a good school day and he felt pretty independent.

In December Jeremy started with Karate and I am happy to say that he really likes it. Last week he was allowed to break a board, he was really happy that he succeeded :)
For the next week he is going to train a lot because he is going to his first Karate tournament at the end of this month. He also has his pinewood derby with his cub scouts at the beginning of March and he working a lot on his little car. I haven't seen it yet, because he goes to a friends house because the friends dad has all the tools they need. We only have a bread knife ;-)  I will post some pictures about that after the derby. In the meantime, here are some Karate pictures of my little guy when he broke his board. Though really, he isn't that little anymore :)
