• launching Lego guys and testing their helmets
• going to Publix: finding coupons, checking out groceries, bringing groceries home, putting away
• launching cars down the steps
• tracing sand letters
• stick-fighting in the backyard
• sharpening sticks for arrows
• checking on the pit

• going on a sleepover at grandma's and packing their own bags

7 yo asked what happens when milk and water are mixed, and immediately found out. Then he just HAD to add oil, and soap, and peanut butter, and spices...

If I want to put it into subjects, we had literature, math, science, social studies, phys. ed, home ec., tefila. But  is there really any need to do so?

I also saw that 9 yo wrote an elaborate list of science things he wanted to do ( paleontology, periodic table, nature hike, make a model of dinosaur), but he did not do any of them. I brought his attention that he did not get to his to-do list despite having a whole day. Now I think that maybe, just maybe, he is not as science-inclined as he wants us to believe. Or maybe simply not focused.

7 yo started with this: "I hate schoolwork, especially math. Can I just launch my cars and measure which one goes the farthest?" And that's exactly what he did.

No tantrums today!
