Day 156 - April 17th

Tuesday!
School was good - the kiddos are all in the countdown mode, which makes them work better (of which I am glad, because in some schools I have been in, knowing the end is near makes them not work at ALL).
Nandry started a retelling story based on the Emperors New Clothes, only it is set in the jungle in a kingdom of monkeys. It is shaping up nicely - stay tuned!
Asher finished writing a pattern story for kids telling about the numbers 1 to 10 with pictures. I told him he should read it to Annabella (Jenn's one year old).
Today was also art! We painted with watercolors, and applied plastic wrap to the wet paintings to make a design. They turned out pretty cool! The kids have been good sports with our adventures in abstract art these last few weeks. So next week (our final week!) I think we will do something they can envision and draw....we are leaning toward doing wax resist lizards. Should be a hit all around, and easy to clean up! Stay tuned!
