Winter Break

David

We went to the park a lot.  He's successfully conquered the monkey bars, which was something he could not do before this break.  He's been practicing every time on that type of structure is available at the park, and I believe he's got it.

We went to the park a lot, mostly to a park where no one goes anyway because it's halfway up a hill, and no one seems to want to park at the bottom and walk up the hill to it.  Jonathan has been practicing climbing the 8 foot vertical wall like those in the rock climbing places.  

They also watched the complete 4-episode mini-series on PBS NOVA about the origins of Eatth.  Neil Degrasse Tyson is great for their age.  

The remaining books from BookShark finally came!  We can now finally synch up the science homework.  I should also check the winners of the annual Ig Nobel Award.
