I am taking off for
warmer weather and coastal air. For the first in my life I am leaving all my
babies and husband behind... for a whole week! I will be spending my moments with
some of my favorite west-coasters.
Our school room has
been in a flurry of extra projects and pages and a few fun tastes, in preparation
for taking a week away from structured learning.
This moon-phase
project was a winner with my students! They all know the Lunar phases and the Latin
terms most accurately now, along with the lesser known vocabulary for the moon cycle using highly intelligent
terms such as quarter oreo, or gibbous chocolate! We were driving as a family a
few evenings ago and our six year old started explaining in 'cookie' terms
exactly what stage the evenings moon was in, my poor engineer husband, he did
not know quite how to handle the moment, wondering what exactly goes on in our
gabled school-room all day!
My somewhat hesitant
reply was,
'We were having fun!'
