Weekly Recap 3/15-3/19

This week was full of special activities and gorgeous weather! We celebrated the Ides of March by watching Julius Caesar. Because of our history studies we had a pretty good understanding of the story of Julius Caesar and were able to understand and enjoy this first taste of Shakepeare without too much trouble. The black and white film gave us more difficulty than the language.


On Tuesday, we traveled to the Indianapolis Museum of Art on our way to pick our Idaho grandparents up from the airport. We were thrilled to see a wide variety of European artists and know that we will have to make a return trip to the IMA when we have more time to spend.

We enjoyed a junior version of Once on This Island on Wednesday performed by a local school for the arts. It was fun to see children perform a musical with an interesting story line. Discussion about religious beliefs followed. That discussion continued later in the day when we participated in a Seder at our church. The dc were very familiar with the story of Passover and really liked this addition to the story.

Thursday, there was a special performance by H10 and S8 at our Bible study opening. It was nice that Oma and Opa were able to see the sign language singing that was performed.

In between the activities, we spent plenty of time playing outside and did a partial school week with lots of extra help and some fun and games.
