March 22, 2012: Hunger Games and multiplication

My sporadic work schedule has prevented Oliver and I from hitting the gym for a couple of days now. Never fear, we'll have father/son fitness time soon, and I'm more than willing to make up for it on the weekends. We're still reading the Hunger Games, and today will be filled out with more math drills, spelling drills and a solid bought of journaling for the boy.
The entire family is thrilled about the Hunger Games movie (I love it when pop culture makes my son want to read a book. That makes life easy.)
Check out the trailer, in case you've been living under a rock:


Here's a link in case the video doesn't work.

So yeah. In addition, I'll also be using this as a jumping off point for two things: Greek culture, particularly the myth of Theseus, and I'll lead into that with the philosophical discussion on the ship of Theseus.
If you've never heard of the Ship of Theseus, or any of its other names, check it out. It's a fun little thought experiment on the ever changing nature of reality and what that means for rational beings.
