More updates...

For the last two weeks we have been working on a few of our achievement activities. Last week we started with portions pertaining to exercise. We had the boys do the standing broad jump. Each jumped 4 times and we compared their results. We talked about consistency and variation. We also came up with ways to measure lengths with when you do not have a tape measure. We used standard sheets of notebook paper, 8 1/2" x 11" and a dollar bill, ~6", to measure. The last bit wasn't in the book but, we through it in a no additional cost. We also were entertained by all of "their" versions of a push up. Quite amusing if you ask me. We also started talking about what makes America great. We discussed people who currently serve and who have served our country. The boys came up with ways that they can serve the community as well. We have been sending home activities to work on at home. They can also bring them to work on for the first few minutes of each meeting. I will add the "assignments" to the right-hand side of the blog so you can see what they should be working on.
