VHS: Eyewitness: Dogs

(Dd is preparing for her speech on "Dogs" for her speech class) 

We have done Artistic Pursuits this week and have enjoyed the lessons. Our first lesson was doing a painting that had a "Impressionistic" style and subject.  Dd chose an apple as her subject.  She is painting in gouache; which I have never tried.  Her second assignment was a color wheel with gouache again.

We are still working on the first lessons in IEW "A".  We've done the Key Word Outline and Rough Draft for Sea Snakes and Desert Tarantula.  We will do the KWO on Pillbugs and have dd choose which of the three stories she wants to pick to do a "Final Draft".  She did the rough draft of Desert Tarantula on her own; I was her spelling dictionary and that was all I had to do.  That is truly an improvement for her abilities.

at the IMA: Indiana Museum of Art

We went to the IMA: Indiana Museum of Art this week; as a field trip with HBHE.  We toured the "100 Acres" sculpture park with a nice guided tour guide who was very similar to Aunt Charlotte.  Then Dd and I had stayed after to play and chat with a fellow hs family that did the tour with us.  Dd had a great time playing with their 3 children.  Then they left and we had our picnic.  Then we went to the IMA building and had a great time looking at all 4 floors worth of art work.

Thursday we had our LHE co-op classes; which were good.  Then we went to Krannert Park and had another picnic and played/chatted with fellow hs'ers.  Then we went with a family to a grocery store in downtown Indy.  This grocery store is like a "Big Lots" for groceries.  We got some organic foods for a great price.
