a sore throat, too much of a stimulating weekend and a rainy monday... kept us away from academics, today. that's right, no school, today. oh, except i did squeeze in a living book about alexander the great. it was an excellent day to pull out this dvd, which we never watched, lemony snicket's... A Series of Unfortunate Events. i loved it. tommie loved it. it was weird and wonderful. and had a good clear message at the end of the story. i won't give it away for you...but it was a springboard for excellent conversation!
tomorrow, we'll be spending time in Paris..under the bridge... or rather starting a week long unit using The Family Under the Bridge. stay tuned..
We had a modified school day around here too THANKS TO YOU!!!! :-) My son walked in on me this weekend reading your Friday post and of course he thought that was the most fabulous way to spend the day! So, today, after a tiring weekend around here I announced Bible and Math only and then to the creek! The weather was beautiful in the Dallas area today and really it was too nice to be inside. I put to bed one happy boy tonight. Tomorrow we have creek water and algae to look at in the microscope. I really appreciate your fun, thoughtful posts ~ you inspired our school day today and it was a memory keeper!
