Long over due

It's been awhile, I know. Sorry. However, I thought I'd take a break from looking at curriculm options, planning the next 6 weeks of school and reading the news to give a little update. (please forgive the photo quality - the camera hasn't been the same since Cai dropped it from the top of the stairs onto the tile)

This week is our week off of "school" as we have been doing 6 weeks on one week off scheduel. We started off the week with a trip to the Miami Children's Museum. They have a new exhibit based on the adventures of Mr Potato head that was a real hit. As always, they wanted to spend a large chunk of our time in the art studio painting and creating great works of art!





















We followed up with Fairchild Botanical Gardens today. When we got there, they recieved a booklet about the current featured art work (sculptures by a French couple). Each page told a short explination of the art and something for them to think and draw next to the picture of the peice. They loved it and were eager to search out each peice in the garden. Then we took the tram ride and heard much about the plants and even some about a few lizards and birds. Then we returned home for lunch and a much needed quiet time.





Also, this past Saturday marked the beginning of a new soccer season. Jael is on a team with two good friends from enrichment classes. Tekla and Saoirse have the same coach but are on different teams (and this makes life a little easier since their practices are back to back; and so are their games). They all got their amazingly orange uniforms and are excited to get to wear them in a couple weeks for their first games. (picture to come later)

Tommorow, the Zoo!
