Christmas in July
The boys were getting bored, because it was too hot to play outside. I got our the craft bucket and found some stained glass ornaments they could paint. It filled up a good hour and then I fed them lunch and that only filled up 30 minutes-So I think I need to think of things that will entertain them longer. They had fun making them and were so proud of their work that they do not want to give them away for Christmas-they want to keep them.
The Tale of Despereaux: Literature Unit
We are starting a literature unit on the book The Tale of Despereaux. I found the following 20 page teachers guide for the book. It has some great activities and resource that can be adapted for the homeschool setting. You will need the book, an additional book, Weslandia, copies made and general classroom suplies to do the lessons in the teachers guide.

Also the book is being turned into a new animated movie!! So after we read it and do the literature unit, it will be a fun treat to see the movie.

Road Hazards
Reaching out
For comfort, for warmth
Chest bared, heart wide-open
I lay before you
Waiting
Vulnerable
You casually step over me
So not to trip
