More proof that Tuck's Mind Works Differently: while watching Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in Top Hat last night, amid MANY other questions ("Where's that music coming from?" "Why is she doing everything he's doing?" "Are they going to fall in the water?") he suddenly came up with: "Did they have kangaroos back then?" HUH?

Emma has decided to make fun of a weird noise Tuck just made:
E: "When did a horse and a beaver get married?"
T: "I don't know; when DID a horse and a beaver get married?"
E: "It's not a riddle, Tuck! I'm talking about that noise you made! When did a horse and a beaver get married?"
T: "1991"
The conversation degenerated from there...

Friday I read some more of Platt's Castle Diary and If You Lived in the Days of the Knights by Ann McGovern, E did math and had basketball practice. Saturday we went to the Chinese New Year Festival downtown, and E had a basketball game.
Today dawned grey and rainy and we didn't feel like school. E did her theory page for piano and some math, then we went to the IMAX and saw Blue Planet, which was pretty good and covered lots of earth science.

We took Monday off to clean house. Yes, the whole day. No, my house is not clean yet.
Tuesday: read about Chinese New Year with The Great Race by Dawn Casey and Lanterns and Firecrackers by Jonny Zucker. This site has lots of activities, crafts, and printables. Watched Life in the Middle Ages: The Serf. E did math
Wednesday: E had piano and dance lessons and did math.
Thursday: Read from Castle Diary by Richard Platt and If You Lived in the Days of the Knights by Ann McGovern, and E did math, took a spelling test, had a Spanish lesson, and went to Grandma's house for her sewing lesson.

This morning E had a spelling lesson and then we watched the inauguration (I confess I used it as a carrot--I told her if she didn't do her spelling quickly enough we'd miss it. I've never had a spelling lesson go so fast!) We went out to lunch to celebrate and then instead of doing math I let her go over to her friend G's house to watch two American Girl movies: Molly and Felicity.
