Nerdy Kids

After we did circle time and balance benders (algebra with shapes instead of numbers/letters), I made the kids do their piano practice. Then Sweet Son had some music theory to do in his workbook. (He's already completed books K and 1, so now he's starting book 2.) I let him go for awhile, but after an hour I stopped him (1/3 of the way finished with the book). He complained that I never let him do anything fun - like more than an hour of music theory at a time. So now he's back to doing more piano practice. Way to prove a point little man. :)

Meanwhile, Sweet Daughter wanted to do some workbook work also. She's not ready for music theory so she's working on a 1st grade language book. I cut her off after 30 minutes because it is really difficult for her to sit still for that long. After running around for a bit, she has now settled down and decided to do art. She is taking the pieces of the US puzzle map out one by one and tracing them. She writes the name of the state on it. She is making her own US map.

The kids ask what they should do. I told them to play and have fun. Sweet Son's practicing piano and Sweet Daughter's tracing and labeling her own map of the US. Yup, they are nerds. :)
