Tuesday- Kosho and Gingerbread houses

Today, we did math in the  morning.  Juno and Freyja both practiced spelling words, as well.  Juno is reading Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine, and she read that this morning.  She is almost finished.  Then, we walked downtown.  The weather today was weirdly warm.  It was nearly sixty degrees here in this New England town on December 6th.

Anyway, it was overcast and moist, but we did not get rained on when we walked.  We went to the Greenfield's Market co-op for lunch and to buy some groceries for dinner.  Juno and Freyja used their allowance money from Saturday to purchase some Oskri Coconut bar treats and Juno got a Very Veggie juice for herself.  They went to the counter by themselves and counted their money, etc.  This is great experience with money/math!  Then, we stopped at the World Eye Bookstore and Freyja got a YoYo with the rest of her money.

Afterward, we walked to the Greenfield Public Library to get some books, as if we don't already have a ton.  Luckily, my mom came to pick us up, because we would not have enjoyed our walk home with all those groceries and books in tow.

Today, Juno also used the Dragon Naturally Speaking software we got.  She is "training" it to recognize her speech.  Then, she can dictate writing onto Microsoft Office.  She seems to enjoy the program.  I have not gotten to try it yet.

Tonight was Kosho night, and my girls and our housemates' girls, plus one more little girl, had Kosho class in the playroom.  See my Novemer 29th post for links about Kosho.  After Kosho, there was dinner, and then our housemates' girls decorated some gingerbread houses they made a few days ago.  Juno and Freyja got in on the action, too
