First semester coming to a close
Wow, can you believe it...we are almost done with the first half of our school year?! Next week we'll be finishing our unit study on Betsy Ross Designer Of Our Flag. The folowing week we'll be doing Thanksgiving books and activies and then we'll be on break.
December 1 wil be the beginning of our advent studies. We focus on enjoying our family, crafts, the true meaning of the season, classic holiday litereature, crafts, baking, crafts, music, Christmas specials on TV and did I mention crafts??We always have so much fun in December. And guess what? Kids learn when they are having fun, go figure..lol!
Last year we had one of those days that was just about perfect. We went to a college production of the Nutcracker (it was wonderful) on a day that was warning of a blizzard. When we left it was cold but clear skies. We got home and started making Rice Krispy treats in the shape of gingerbread men. As we were eating our treats and drinking cocoa, we looked outside and saw that it was snowing. It was gorgeous. We threw on our winter gear; coats, hats, mittens, and boots and went out for an adventure. We went sledding, built snowmen, had snowball fights and just had a grand old, freezing cold time :) When we finally came in to thaw out we decided to order Chinese for dinner. We spent the evening cuddled up on the couch, eating take out and watching TV together.
The best part of that day is the fact that the kids are still talking about it! Some may say, where is the educational value in that? Let me tell you the kids learned so much. On top of that they laughed, loved and created unforgetable family memories...that is something they'll never get in a classroom. I am so looking forward to the memories we'll be creating this season.
As always. enjoy your kids!!!

Princess Hair
OK, I was inspired. Another FIAR mom posted pictures of her daughter's renaissance hair. It was beautiful! I realized I had never even attempted to braid D's hair. So, I decided on a double french braid style. D loves it and looks just like a princess. I'm so glad other moms are so willing to share their creativity!
