Friday Fun

I am pretty excited about our curriculum this year! It is a four day a week curriculum, allowing Friday to be a FUN day. A day for crafts, projects, field trips, games or anything else schoolish that we want to spend our time on! I have wanted this for years and I am so thankful it has finally worked out this year.
Yesterday was our first fun Friday of the school year. We started out the day with Kayla finishing a Science Experiment that we hadn't had everything for on Thursday (we had to improvise, thanks third world country). After that we opened our Tinkercrate box and built rockets (Science & Art). After building our rockets we went out and launched them...it was so much fun!
Once we got back to our apartment we had lunch and then played Ticket to Ride (History and Geography), Kayla won by a landslide. After lunch we headed over to the Embassy pool where we were supposed to meet a family we had met last week and a new family that just arrived this week. The family we met last week ended up being a no-show, so Kayla and Elijah had fun by themselves for a while. Later the new family arrived and not long after that so did several other families. We had a great time at the pool connecting with the new family and meeting some other people we had not met before. It was a great, relaxing afternoon.
Our first fun Friday was an enormous success!!! 

 I hope the videos work, you MUST watch :)
