Today Mr. Wheels wanted to play outside and ride his bike. Tessa brought out her math and did it outside with us. She was learning how to calculate the surface area of a pyramid. She had to construct a pentagon with a circle, goniometer, and a ruler. She cut it out and folded one of the sides on top of another to make a square pyramid and a triangular pyramid. She then found the surface area of both. Another time when school went where we were, instead of us going to school.

Warm Sunny Days
This week has gotten warm here. We have been wondering if winter was ever going to turn in to spring. We have had rain, wind and jackets for too long. When it was sunny today the kids talked me into doing school at the table on the back deck. It was too bright (I am not complaining) so Tessa got out her Japanese umbrella to shade her paper. Mr. Wheels colored on his laminated pattern letters with green dry erase letters. When he was done I had him pretend he was a John Deere lawn mower and "mow the grass" to clean it up. This is the joy of homeschooling we don't go to school, school comes with us.
