Third grade! So far Emma is working on two pages of a math workbook every day after breakfast. Grammar workbook is added a few times a week also. We have begun to re-read History of the World and some afternoons I read a chapter aloud and we reference maps and other books and she makes notes and definitions. So far it is a good start. Afternoons in the garden provide emerging science activities and research. She loves to read and has begun scribbling down words to look up in the dictionary later from her audio book time. I am excited to see where her interests will lead us.
External learning websites that Emma really enjoys are The Kids Should See This, Mystery Science and Brain Pop Jr.


Today we used our friends car and drove just five miles to get to gorgeous redwoods. We visited this regional park in November and I was eager to return. It smells so good and fresh with the scent of bay laurel and redwoods.


We met in the gardens and had a little picnic. Everyone wore masks and we did our best to give each other a little breathing room. It felt like forever since the last time we saw our friends and definitely since March since we even attempted a play date. I think that the girls friendship grew with the lost time and they are excited we will make it a weekly event.
