Emily's Acting Debut

What a Winter

Record breaking snow, Christmas, health issues, it's been quite the winter so far. Just took a few weeks break from school and now we're back at it. We recently signed the girls up for a class at Rum River Art Center. They love it. Monday they had a lesson copying Amedeo Modiglian and did so well. Alison did amazing for 4 years old! Emily did an excellent job! Larry is an extremely patient and positive teacher. The class is a 90 minute session. Very cool program.

More Lapbooks

France Project

Emily's lapbook is taking shape. Next up , 3-d Eiffel Tower puzzle and baking french bread. Should be done by well before Tuesday when we have our Geography group over.

Workin' Hard

Emily has been up early and working hard on school work. This week she designed a math game, sort of a combination of chutes and ladders and monopoly. Each player starts with a dollar, draws cards that prompts you to move ahead or go back. To know how many spaces you have to solve a math equation. You also gain or lose same amount in money. The object is to get to the end of the board and still have a dollar left.

We're still working on 3 projects, the family newspaper, lapbook ,etc on France and a lapbook on solar system. Add Halloween costumes being made, a car show this weekend, play time etc. etc. We've been so busy but having lots of fun!

Fall Fun

This morning was great. Both girls jumped up out of bed an hour early, eager to do school work. The first thing out of Alison's mouth was "Can I dry erase". Emily wanted to do science first. Yay! Both worked hard all morning and had a great time. Did beautifully on everything and no fights. Off to a great start. If only every day could be like that!
