Reading, Constellations and more

Today we got off to a late start with our schooling.  I've been dealing with a headache for the past 10 days... doc tells me it's a particular type of migraine that is hard to get rid of.  :)   It causes dizziness which means headaches, your head ache with makes you dizzy.  In time it will leave.   Makes it slower getting going though.

Anyways, we read from the warriors over breakfast.   The lad was able to recall facts well from previous reading we had done.   Then upstairs to work on the names of Christ study that we are doing.  Today we learned about Yahweh Shamma (i may have spelled that wrong).  The Lord is There.  The authors connected it with Immanuel... God with us which I thought was rather cool.

From there we moved on to doing Story of the World where we learned about the Grand Canal in China.  Saved China (as a whole nation), cost to Sui Dynasty their leadership (high taxes, increased poverty, death, poor working conditions).   I think it's amazing what they did... despite the cost to the people involved. Five million people, six years, 1200 miles I think.   All of China now connected.   Amazing!

Then we read from our science book and were inspired to make our own Constellation viewer.    This was rather fun to do. :)   We fit Reading Kingdom into the mix as well.

The lad then worked on his math ... doing it through IXL since by this time I'm running on empty and just need to lay my head down for a spell.     We had lunch.... I did the easy chips and cheese thing, the lad had some pizza.   We finished the day with the lad doing his 20 minutes of reading.  Today his book was "Wood Frog".

All in all a nap did me a world of good afterwards and the lad had fun just relaxing with Skyrim for a while  (he's learning to read some of the options on his own as well).  :)
