Then it was off to the blood center so I could donate.
Afterward we stopped at Walmart...his idea. He recently earned some money taking care of a dog and he wanted to spend it. I would rather he save it, but I took this opportunity at the store for our impromptu math class. We compared prices, looked at what was the best deal, etc. I even used the calculator on my phone to show him how one item was priced better than another. He then found something else he asked to buy..."do I have enough money?"....another opportunity to show how math skills are used in every day life.
Local book store was next...always nice to peruse the shelves.
After lunch, it was time to read....currently reading through a book telling tales of our soldiers' personal stories while in Afghanistan, Battle Heroes- Voices From Afghanistan. He finished his school day by gathering more information for his power point on North Dakota for geography/social studies.
Tomorrow we'll be back to our 'regular' schedule.....
