Math was working with fractions, specifically halves and quarters. Dictation was from King Arthur, and grammar focused on direct and indirect quotations and the proper punctuation of the two,
Toviel worked on copywork from a piece of poetry called The Nightingale and The Glowworm in the morning. In the evening he did more work on perimeters for math.
In the afternoon I drove the boys to M's house for the afternoon. It was a long drive...there and back was almost 1.5 hours. Then I had to do the drive again to pick them up. Yes, I dropped them off and left. With them there. Amazing! So they spent the afternoon playing. I spent my afternoon with Cris, putting posts in the ground for a fence. The frustrating part was that someone else had said the holes were all ready to go, but in reality, the spacing of them was wrong, and the depth was less than half of what they needed to be. So that had to be fixed, and I'm not terribly good at digging holes. Cris is, though. He dug out many 4 feet deep holes.
We did get all the posts levelled and cemented in by 5pm. But, the person we're building the fence for decided he liked the posts so much, he wanted the fence to be longer, so we will be putting more in the ground later this week before putting up the boards.
Tove lost his top front tooth tonight. It was bugging him so much, he asked Cris to pull it out. He wanted the other front tooth pulled, top, but it didn't come out so readily, and is, in fact, still in his mouth. This time the tooth fairy had better come in the night while he is sleeping!
