In my life this week…
Chaos. I don’t know why it always surprises me, but it could
have been some personal and self-imposed deadlines. Or the fact that we’re all
healthy again and the children have their energy back making it feel like we
need to pad the walls. Or the planning for next week.
Chaos. Maybe that should have been my word for this year?
In our
homeschool this week…
A substitute teacher J created a makeshift
microscope with a window and a magnifying glass. Onion skins have large
rectangular cells that can be seen without much magnification. So the
preparation of a cheese ball lunch morphed into a science lesson.
Slap a bit of green onion skin on the sliding glass door.
Retrieve the magnifying glass from the oldest child’s spy kit. Instant science.
The lesson actually served a dual purpose. It turned into a
refresher course on the proper technique for cleaning windows.

Have fun! That’s it, friends. The sum total of my wisdom for
this week. {See above mention of chaos. J}
Places we’re
going…
Outside to play in the snow! We finally had a big snowstorm,
and Tuesday afternoon we enjoyed the wonder of falling snow.
So, you don’t have to be Nancy Drew to figure out what
Wednesday was. SNOW DAY!!
My favorite
thing this week was…
Lunchtime fun!
“Is this edible?”
{Before anybody gets worked up, let me assure you it was
just for fun. Ungrateful and complaining attitudes are not allowed at our
table.}

Cool about the onion skin! I want to try that tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteYes, still winter, but trying to be spring... :)
The cells aren't really easy to see, but it's possible. Have fun, Christa!
DeleteGreat pictures. I am glad to hear ungratefulness isn't allowed at your table. I don't like it either. It looks like your dining room is nice and snug like ours. With a big table smack dab in the center of a rather small dining room, what can you do? It's funny, when we have company and put the extension in, the table sticks out into the living room. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, snug! When we put the second extension in, we can't walk around it. As always, thanks for visiting, Rachel!
