I went to Fort Atkinson on a homeschool field trip. While we were there, I learned to make lace and cart wool to prepare it for spinning.

With Mrs.M, I learned to make play-doh animals. The first project I finished was a dinosaur. When working with play-doh, it is important to remember to keep the play-doh moist and to start with a ball that has no cracks in it. When there is more than one piece, water acts like glue and makes them stick together. After I have made an animal, I let it air-dry and then paint it with clear nail polish so that it is ready to display.

I used the Internet to help find information on Christmas traditions in Paris for a school project.

Once Upon A Story ~ SB4 ~ page 102

Internal Rhyme
Next Day
One small snowman went off to play
in the world of The Next Day.
What he didn't know
was that the snow was about to go.
Very soon her felt
he was starting to melt.
The snowman rushed
but soon he gushed
down a hill against his will.

Feeling Poem
Hope
Hope sounds like birds twittering to each other.
Hope looks like wrapped presents.
Hope tastes like a fresh ripe strawberry.
Hope smells like a spring rain shower.
Hope feels like sitting on a porch swing watching a sunset.

Simile
Fall
Fall is like apples,
that turn itno cider.
Scarecrows come down,
like the snow will do soon,
jack'o'lanterns shine
as bright as the moon.

I helped modify a lasagna recipie so that it was lower in sodium and fat for Mrs.L because she just had heart surgery. She had said that lasagna was one of her favorite meals and was concerned she would never get to eat it again. We made some things from scratch, like the spaghetti sauce and we substituted some things for lower fat and salt alternatives, like cheeses.
