School work

I've started home-schooling the girls. I'm finding that we can complete our lessons in about 3 hours per day. So far (just two days) it is going well. Math lessons are very easy so far. English is a little harder, perhaps because the girls were in French immersion last year so their english spelling is not that good yet.

Yesterday we had a field trip. I have relatives visiting from Holland and we took them to Upper Canada Village (a town based on the 1860's). The kids had a great history lesson. It was a very hot day, so the girls were quite tired of all the questions we were asking by the end of the day. I think their favourite thing was learning how to milk a cow.
