Just for fun, I created a picture online with the kids help.  Sometimes, the teacher needs to be the student.

We are enjoying the snow and hoping for enough to go sledding soon.

This morning we had fun making scarecrows.

I found this at my desk today.  I think someone is looking forward to holiday!

I do not say this enough; I love Allan McGuire!

While out and about, the kids and I discovered our first Seward Johnson sculpture.  We were fascinated by how realistic it looked.  Mark mentioned seeing more while driving, so we decided to see how many we could find. When we discovered one, the kids looked for fun details on the statues, such as one had an untied shoe.

We hope to explore more this summer and try to find all of them.  We saw more but it started to rain and everyone was getting cold so we decided to wait for another day to discover them. It was a silly, but fun afternoon!

Today we spent the afternoon at our monthly Science Sleuths class. The younger two were there for the class, and the rest of us were volunteers to help at each “recycled toy” station.

Most of the class was missing, but we had a lot of fun with the children who came. Everyone’s favorite toy to make were the snowmen made out of socks.  They were easy but the children took a lot of time to make theirs just perfect. Since the class was so small, the older kids got to participate in the different stations also.

Some heavy paper, five colors of paint, some glue and googly eyes, and we now have a rafter of turkeys at our house.
