At first, Casey wasn't happy about her "substitute" teacher and made it known. I reminded her that Daddy is just as much her teacher as I am. She and Will both enjoyed what Richard taught them: computers - input and output, how calculators work, and (best of all) he taught them how to add and subtract using an abacus! [Casey mentioned that now she doesn't have to know her addition and subtraction facts as she can just use an abacus. I quickly squelched that notion!]
Richard also invited us outside to play a game of croquet! (Not to gloat, but I won!)
Casey and I worked on math flashcards, studied St. Augustine of Canterbury, and worked on memorizing At the Sea Side by Robert Louis Stevenson. Will and I are still working our way through 100 Easy Lessons. Tricky is... well, Tricky.

COOL! I've always wanted to get an abacus.
While you are teaching her "At the Sea Side," be sure to teach her "She sells sea shells by the sea shore." Kidding.
Glad you had a great week! We just started back yesterday.
