..another rainy day but that didn't stop Christopher from going out and shooting hoops in the rain. His buddy Daniel joined him and the next thing I saw they were sliding down the hill on their backs.... this was followed by a hot shower and a lesson in getting grass stains out of clothing!
C read about 20 more pages in Theodore Roosevelt's Letters to his Children. we are about 1/3 done with the book. It gives great perspective into who this man was.
Continued work in algebra
Did lesson one in Thinking Toolbox, a Bluedorn book. We love Bluedorn books . This is our third. we have completed Fallacy Detective & Whatever happened to Penny Candy. This one is on Logic/Critical Thinking
Christopher made Scampi for lunch
He also spent time on the computer on various message boards and chat.
a chunk of this afternoon was spent watching the movie 3:10 to Yuma. while this is fiction, the story opened up lots of doors for discussion and also gave a fairly accurate depicition of life in the West in the late 1800's. We were able to discuss Pinkerton Agency, the Railroad push west, tuberculosis, and the laws for new territory. Not to mention the integrity of the main character. I give the movie 2 thumbs up!
another great school day here at End of the Road
