Thanksgiving: What a Great Day!

So, we had so much fun celebrating Thanksgiving! We have been compiling a list for a few weeks for what we are thankful. We snagged some great Thanksgiving decorations from FamilyFun. We cooked. We decorated. AND WE ATE TURKEY!!!

God is good!!

Since the last post...

E. has finished The Tale of Despereaux.
We have watched the movie...he recognized a difference immediately on the cover of the DVD...I am not telling...YOU have to figure it out! :-)
He has since read The Tiger Rising, which is also by Kate Dicamillo, and is currently working on Herman Melville's Moby Dick.

Fourth Grade Reading Assignment

One of E.'s reading assignments for this fall is The Tale of Despereaux. We have not seen the movie yet and will not until he is finished. Part of his assignment will be to compare and contrast the book and the movie. Another great resource we found is this teacher's guide from Universal Studios and Scholastic Books.

Kid Quotes

What is so funny about vomiting?

The young 'uns have become quite humored by vomiting! I guess until they have to clean it up themselves, they will be amused!

(P.S. Thankfully, no one has been sick in this way lately!)
