Read Aloud Thursday–Clown of God and Go-Alongs

September 30, 2010 by Amy 9 Comments

  This week’s Read Aloud Thursday post is thematic, something that I don’t usually do.  This week we took a break from our normal school routine and did a light Five in a Row week.  Although we really didn’t do many of the activities in the actual FIAR instructor book, we captured the spirit by … [Read more…]

Sketch Tuesday

September 28, 2010 by Amy 3 Comments

Barb‘s challenge for this week’s Sketch Tuesday is to sketch something that floats.  The girls (mostly under Lulu’s guidance) at first thought they’d sketch the Niña or the Pinta (scroll down to see the pictures), but when it came down to it last Thursday, they decided to go with something simpler:  a leaf.  Again, I intended to contribute … [Read more…]

Eight Weeks In (with Baby in Tow)

September 23, 2010 by Amy 4 Comments

Warning:  brain purge ahead!  Please rid yourselves of any expectation that this will be well-organized or logical, and proceed with caution!  🙂 I’m composing this post as the girls have their rest time and the DLM is (blessedly!) asleep.  What a day it has been!  I have the foolish, persistent notion that Thursdays are a … [Read more…]
