School, Yoga and Basketball

This morning, we got right to work this morning on our schoolwork so the girls could go to yoga this afternoon.  If you don't finish your schoolwork you don't get to do the extra classes.

Everyone finished their schoolwork by lunch, so we ate and watched some Mythbusters and then headed upstairs for quiet time.

Cairn is working on scientific notation in math, writing a book, learning dictionary and Encyclopedia skills and her Spanish.  I still believe in the old fashioned dictionary skills so all of them will learn them.

Before yoga, we headed to Target to get our yoga mats and then we had to pick up C so she could go too.  She was super excited about going to class with the girls.  I let her borrow my mat.

While the girls were in yoga, Andrew and I ran the track for 1/2 a mile and then played basketball.  Andrew had never played basketball so I tried to teach him to dribble but he was more interested in trying to hit a basket.  I showed him a couple time and he tried throwing the ball into the basket

All of a sudden, he stopped and watched the boys around him play for about 3 minutes.  I knew exactly what he was doing so I watched him watch the boys.  Then he turns around and

bends down, then...

jumps up and throws the ball.

Since I don't know anything about basketball I didn't think to show him the jump.  But Andrew is too smart and he knew he was doing something wrong so he stopped to learn and then imitate.  Always my little imitator.

After we played and watched for a bit we had to return to the girl's room to get them and I wanted to take a few pictures.

For some reason, the pictures of Skylar all turned out blurry.  I was sitting at a tough angle and I didn't want to move around the classroom and disrupt.  I will keep trying because all 3 girls loved their class.  Cairn appeared much more relaxed after class.
