Yesterday after her piano lesson, E went to her zoo class. Then we had a great Halloween party! Today we saw Peter and the Wolf at the Children's Theatre--it was a charming production and T was very scared by the wolf and very proud for Peter. E narrated "The Man-Eating Horses" labor of Heracles from Amery's Greek Myths for Young Children, then I read "The Amazon Queen's Belt" and "The Cattle of Geryon". We also read about Theseus and the Minotaur, Pygmalion and Galatea, and Eros and Psyche. Then in the D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths I read about King Midas, Sisyphus, and Bellerophon. E did her math, and worked on her mat. We tried making a Greek pot, from Laurie Carlson's Classical Kids, but somehow it kept collapsing, so Alan said he'd give it a go with her tonight. And she asked me to read Aristotle and Scientific Thought by Steve Parker.
