The boys found the rubic's cubes and have been playing with them this week. They are still learning how to solve them, but I think they're having fun while they learn.

Jack is reading the story By the Great Horn Spoon in class. He says it's good because they're sailing on a boat and they dig for gold. lol. It goes with their social studies unit on the California Gold Rush.
Shawn's class is still finishing their reading of The Outsiders. They just had to write an essay comparing and contrasting the novel to the movie. (He liked the movie best.)
Jason's class is reading The Giver. He says the book is "okay" because he can't seem to get in to it, he says.

Jason is learning about probability in his math class this week. He got to do the coin flip experiment - where he flips two coins to see what his results were at the end.
Shawn is learning about ratios and proportions (graphing and whether linear lines are proportional or not).
Jack is finishing up his unit on long division. He'll be heading into fractions next.

Lastly, Gracie continues to be less than thrilled that I have returned to work M-Th. She is all over me from the moment I get home. I wondered if she would have a hard time with me going back after having me here at all times for 13 months. Poor girl.
