Summer school is underway amidst swim team, play dates and camps. Sarah has been really great about doing some school everyday. This is a kid who LOVES routine. Every morning after she returns from swim practice, she showers, gets dressed and comes downstairs with her backpack ready for school. Some days we can only fit in a couple of hours but hey, it is summer.
Today we started the French and Indian War. I am noticing that on most curriculum sites and textbooks, Fourth graders study the Revolutionary War. Sarah has not studied the birth of our nation but she has heard of it. I guess that's something.
She also went to Math Puzzle camp this afternoon for a couple of hours. To Sarah's surprise it is more Math than camp. It really is a mix of kids from third to fifth grade. When I picked her up, a little girl came up to her, said nothing, but handed her an elaborate origami bird made out of a piece of notebook paper. I thought it was very sweet. Sarah was also arguing with another girl about passing notes in class...she will find the drama wherever she goes but it sparked a conversation on the way home.
