I think we'll be doing double math at least for next week, but then we'll likely take the entire next week off.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141123092139829629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-58908154786310978562015-11-11T12:46:35.161-05:002015-11-11T12:46:35.161-05:00That recipe looks yummy!

Before the war, there were a lot of sick kids and no explanation for why they were sick, but once the war and the rationing kicked off, the kids started getting better, but got worse once the war/rationing ended. I found that fascinating.<br /><br />We have tossed most everything aside this month except the writing. So far, Emma has written just over 7,000 words. She hand writes her novel in a notebook and I type it up for her each day. It's pretty awesome to watch her novel unfold. She will take a break from her novel in December (and probably do double math the entire month), then starting in January, she will begin the revisions. Her dad has agreed to help with the revisions, as he has a MUCH better understanding of all that. <br /><br />We have a game called Secret Code 13+4 that we use as a math enrichment sometimes. Once Emma started working with multiplication and division, she needed to use those functions instead of addition and subtraction. It's a quick and fun game. http://www.habausa.com/secret-code-13-4.html<br /><br />On a side note, as I was looking up the website for the game, I found that the CIA website has a kids zone. https://www.cia.gov/kids-page/games/break-the-code<br /><br />Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611764295297526639noreply@blogger.com
