Cookin' up a Book

Student is moving right along with her First Grade Cookbook.
With her love of color and all things art, her recipe feature today
is Rainbow Soup.




No, measurements of each ingredient are not included.
That's part of the learning experience of following the directions she listed...
as well as the truth of Teacher's cooking
that measurements in the Homeschool kitchen consist of:
however much there is...
however much Principal likes...or,
however much is desired.
Yes, it's the lesson on the heart of Mid-West cooking:Use what you have and waste not!


Toddler is kicking his sickness...


Really, he's cowboying up! Nothing a lil, ibeprayin & ibuprofen can't fix!

During Reading today, Toddler picked the closest book in sight to read: the Dictionary! Requesting to learn the definition for boxing, boy & football.
Not wanting to confuse him, Teacher fought the urge to paste in a picture of Toddler to suffice a definition for BOY! And all fairness to Mascot, we shall give him time to boy-up!

Student and TOddler also enjoyed the tactile reading experience from Robert Sabuda. A Christmas tradition of Auntie Ang, Sabuda's books are taken out of the witness protection program a few times throughout the year, and they speak volumes! Popping with beauty and imagination!


History brought more vocab for Students current study list. Thanks to Papa D and their treasured 3 Stooges movie nights, she knew the definition of innocent! Thanks, Papa.

Continuing her 5-day study of Electricity, student hunted the Homeschool for items with switches. Here's what she found:
keyboard
Christmas Chapel
remote
camcorder
Mascot's swing

Seatwork will be finished as Teacher slides away to work this evening. Principal will tap his finger, sit beside her and offer all the encouragement in the world. Thank God for Dads!
