But, why ?

Wow , with the snow having closed the public schools , Aideen feeling a bit "put out" that her friends have no school but she has, so we decided to do someting REALLY fun today...and it was Aideen herself came up the answer...she is going to (using our camera) make a short film in the homeschool room...so movie lovers watch this space :0) we havent a camcorder but my camera allows small vidoes to be made , so shes really excited !
Also today we started studying about Martin Luther King , Aideen loves the history of it all , BUT being such an empathic person she kept asking "but WHY" mam , whyin te first place could the black and white people not get along , how could one person be so horrible to another...out of the mouths of babes...makes you think !
Daisy has a new fascination...stickers :0) and while I was busy studying in my office today she ws busy "making art mam" on the floor...nice ??? She thought so :0)
Another project this month is "where our food comes from" , we are tracing all our groceries every week to their original destination , as much as we can...and it led Aideen to start a "thank our farmers" report !
So although as the song says "teh weather outside is frightful" in Scoildai "its been delightful" :0) Hope you are all warm and safe wherever you are ! Don`t forget to look in on old neighbours and also to keep the birds fed !

  2. Hi Dee ! Yes , its hard keeping the cabin fever at bay in such a small home as ours...BUT...thats part of the fun isnt it? I have SUCH sweet memories of "snowed in" winters as a child, and I long for my kids to have the same...
