Mosaics

Well today we are learning about mosaics. I read a bit of information from the web to him about mosaics. Then he cut some construction paper into bits and started gluing them on to a paper. While he worked on that we watched these videos

and he invited me to help him so I helped fill in some of the gaps. He just asked for a book about mosaics and if we had a car I would take him to get one at the library. Its just too cold for me.
I tried to explain that mosaics usually have patterns. I think after we eat lunch we will use pattern blocks.

What We've Been Up To

Right now My Little Man is using a calculator to create addition problems and then make up a math story involving the equation.
He worked on a Boating Safety booklet, reviewed Arabic letters and focused on dthal, thought up and started a science experiment to see if he could get too hot by drinking hot water with a straw so he could go outside with out a coat and not get cold. Next, inshallah he is going to read and test himself on comprehension. When he read a work he didn't know he wrote it down and studied it so he would recognize it in the future.

Oh when he was working on his dthal page he started experimenting with mixing colors. So lets see thats Arabic, art, science, math, vocabulary in English, and is getting a book now for reading.  4 hours of school work and no problems other than the occasional "Enough sound effects i can't concentrate!" coming from my end. not bad
