Jake has been teaching Joe how to play chess. Although a little sneaky with his intentions at times, he has done well enough for Joe to grasp a lot of it...and even beat Jake. (Jake has given up on Josh and I learning to play, I guess!)
We painted a few windows and installed them in the school room for a bulletin board and 2 dry erase boards. The boys are enjoying the new place to display their work.
Josh was able to make progress installing the trimwork for the stairs (b/c his paint crew finally got it together)...and, therefore, some of the baseboard around the dining room and stairs.
Even though Jake "fought" school each day, ironically he begged me to keep on reading the history stories each day and was eager to do science. Among the learning this week, we created Columbus' ships and sailed them in the tub. Jake was giddy with delight when he placed his in the water, blew on the sails, and watched it take off. (A friend commented on the fact that Columbus was from Italy...not Chicago...when noticing the sails made out of Bears and Cubs fabric. :)
The boys added scenery using foil for mountains and such for their animals. However, the sails soon fell and brought the ships down. So, they are in the "shop" for repairs.
