When I went to bed last night I had no idea what we were going to do in school this week. We just finished studying about India last week and I didn't feel the need to stretch that out any longer. So, we have this one week left before we take off two for spring break.
What to do. What to do.
We have spelling, math and writing and Bible to continue in. Those can all be stand alone sujects just fine.
B has been asking us to help him grow crystals (a Christmas gift) and that sounds like a good school activity to me. Additionally, I had also begun reading The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to B&S off my Kindle while we were waiting for appointments. And they've really been enjoying it.
If crystals can be dyed green they might resemble emeralds... hmmm.
And so began our Wizard of Oz Science Study for the week.
...growing our own Emerald City.
...soda bottle tornadoes.
...animal (lion), vegetable (scarecrow) or mineral (tin man) classification.
..."Witch" dissolves in water?
And because our vacation in May will be in Santa Fe where the Georgia O'Keefe museum is AND poppies show up in the next chapter of the book we'll work on a huge O'Keefe poppy mural I just purchased from Art Projects for Kids. It will be huge and B is so excited to get into my pastels.
I love it when all things converge.

For two years I have had comments turned off as a discipline to write for myself. I'm seeing the other side. I just ask that you comment with grace.
