WHAT WE LEARNED
+ In Around the World, we went to Thailand! Our favorite book from this country was Hush: A Thai Lullaby. We also learned about the bumblebee bat, which only has a wingspan of five inches!
+ M’s (7th grade) Ancient History studies have been a little dry, so I tried to liven things up by having him “mummify” one of his brothers in toilet paper. It definitely wasn’t a very academic activity, but the amount of laughter was 100% worth it.
+ We were gifted a set of Polydrons and while there was a bit of a learning curve, the kids figured it out and now are hooked! They’ve been making 3D shapes galore all week.
TEN THINGS I’M GRATEFUL FOR
small room changes that have a big impact
my hard working football player
a fixed lawn mower (finally!)
when Lucy lays her head in my lap
hot cups of peach tea
crunchy leaves all over the driveway
pink sunsets
when P takes a nap
a book I can’t put down
our home warranty policy
IN THE KITCHEN
+ On the menu:
T: breakfast for dinner – pancakes, bacon and Orange Julius
W: beans and rice kielbasa skillet
Th: pepperoni pizza
F: Mark brought home burgers and fries
+ G is for Granola, so we were going to make our go-to recipe, but our oven broke! Always something.
GOOD THINGS
+ I’m considering doing this project for the cold weather months.
+ Have you heard of Rad Mail? Looks like a fun monthly subscription.
