Sunday and Monday (Day 16)
Michael got quite ill on Saturday. So, he stayed home from church.
When Paul and Dad returned, Michael and Paul had an "Amazing Animals" and "Bill Nye" fest. Lots of science for one sick boy and one suportive brother.
In the self-education department, I read from page 20 - 360 of The Good Earth because I couldn't put it down! I will discuss Part 1 with my Oprah Book Club on Monday, October 4th.
TODAY in homeschool:
Michael is still sick. So, it has been more low-key. We did a great experiment by rubbing a balloon on our hair and directing it toward an inverted plastic cup that is over a "paper tent" suspended on a tack that is imbedded in modeling clay. The negative charge on the balloon from the electrons in our hair attracted to the positive paper charge to make the paper move through the plastic cup. It did not work through a glass cup. Glass must not a be a conductor of electricity!
We did write ups of the experiment, and I could tell Michael was definitely dragging.
After this, we had "couch time" of Bible, John study, prayer, and ITA.
Then, we finished up by watching Colonial Life for Children: Roger Williams and Rhode Island. I am SOO impressed with these videos! I am learning so much.
I told Michael he was done for the day, and I will finish up with Paul doing math/spelling this afternoon.
Off for a bike ride to pick up The Salt Garden from Laura Gannon!
