Things have been pretty busy here - and I think we all have had the flu the last couple of days... sigh.
Anyway, I went to the library, and I thought you might be interested in what we picked up....
- It appears that our Library has picked up the "Little Pim" DVD's for German. I've picked up 3 to see what I think of the program. It is for ages 0-5, so that gets a few of my kids in... We happened to get volumes 4-6 (the ones sitting at the library) so I don't know if it will be too hard with not seeing 1-3 first, or if it really won't matter. I have wondered about that program, so I'm thrilled to get to see these DVD's
- I grabbed a couple of Baby Signing Time and 1 Signing Time DVD. We have decided to add ASL into our little homeschool (Delta and Echo took a preschool course, and Foxtrot took a baby sign course with me ages ago - so they know a little) I took what was available at the library I visited, but there are several in the system.
- I also grabbed "The American Sign Language Phrase Book" by Lou Fant. I remember we used a book by him as an extra book years ago when I took sign language
- The Elements - A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe. We have been learning about Elements recently, so this is a nice extra book to look through. I find it interesting that Delta loves the Element Gold.... Rich tastes?
- A few books for reading time - "Corduroy", "Ferdinand", "Harry the Dirty Dog"
This was added to the 20 or so other books we still have out from the library from previous visits. Hopefully this will let us keep busy in an easy way while we all get to feeling much better.
Oh, and on another topic... our Church had the Children's Presentation this last week. Delta played the violin during it. He did a wonderful job, as it took a lot of work to learn the song, and he must have been a little nervous during the performance. Later that day was the Suzuki winter concert - so the kids had a LOT of sitting quietly that day, as well as a fair bit of violin to do.
