Yesterday I read two more chapters from Margaret Pumphrey's Pilgrim Stories, and On the Mayflower by Kate Waters. E did math and more of the TOPS Green Thumbs 38: Radishes. I read a few more pages from Kids Discover Magazines Stars & Nebulae issue. Then we went to the science center with Grandma and Grandpa to see the Imax movie Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs, which was very good, and we played a little at the science center afterwards.
Today E had her piano lesson and then we went to the library. After lunch we did more TOPS radish experiments.

127-128
Friday we read more about Jamestown in the excellent John Smith Escapes Again! by Rosalyn Schanzer. I read a biography of Sandra Day O'Connor by Mary Hill (O'Connor's birthday was actually last Wednesday, but we didn't get to it then), and we began our study of plants reading A Seed Is a Promise by Claire Merrill. I also showed them some pollen I got cleaning the clothesline and we looked at some flowers and identified the pistil and stamens. Later this week I hope to look at both under the microscope. I also read a few pages of Kids Discover Magazine Volume 18 Issue 3 about Stars & Nebulae, and E did her math.
Today I read the first chapter of Mary Pope Osbourne's Pilgrims and the first 2 chapters of Margaret Pumphrey's Pilgrim Stories revised and expanded by Elvajean Hall, and a book about Bees by Susan Ashley. E is doing a math review and after lunch we're going to start the Tops Green Thumbs: Radishes #38 activity sheet series.
