What We Are Learning This Week? Really?

This has been one of THOSE weeks. And I am not even sure why.

We really didn't have a ton of things going on or lots of meetings (that is next week).

Everything just seemed to take longer. Everything! From our morning chores to getting ready for bed.

Who knows. Maybe it is springtime and that makes us want to do something different.

Of course, we are always learning something.

1. The Ancient Greeks, well the whole ancient world, seems to have been in quite an upheaval, but it did take 4000 years for most of it to happen. That is a long time after all.

2. Diligence really does pay off toward the end of Algebra I. It isn't quite as hard as when we started out. However, the further you get into Pre-Algebra, the more time it takes to get it done.

3. Even weeks with one of the greatest holidays in the weekend can be just another week on the list. Except when we stop and read through the stories every morning to keep it "new every morning".

4. Circle skirts are fun to wear and make, even the third or fourth time around.

5. A day spent with friends flies past way too quickly!

Things on the list can get checked off, but the most important things sometimes just go past and we don't always notice.
