Rosh Hashana was this week. We wish you and your families a Sweet and Happy New Year. May you be inscribed in the Book of Life.
No school on Mon. & Tues. of this week for Holiday celebrating. We saw family on the first night and friends on the second night. Apples dipped in honey, brisket, and other assorted traditional foods were enjoyed.
Wednesday was a philosophy day. The kids finished up the first book on Logic and are ready to move onto the next book which deals with Ethics. Lots of thought provoking conversation on Reason vs. Excuse. How are they different? Is violence against another person ever justifiable? Is lying ever acceptable? One instantly wants to say no, but, if someone is threatening you if you don't tell them where someone else is do you lie about their location? So much to think about.
The kids are plodding ahead in their studies. Little Miss M completed a paper on Henry the VIII's wives. Mister B has been working on an essay about himself for a writing course he is taking. Little Miss is learning about percentages and pie charts while Mister B is reviewing Greatest/Lowest Common Factors & Greatest/Lowest Common Multiples. Mister B is also busy with Spanish-learning to count to 100 and the days of the week. And of course, some science for both of them.
Some days really make my head spin.
