We started up french this month. I say we as I am learning it along with our children . (I am almost ready for the game show "Are you smarter than a 5th Grader".)
We are very proud of the effort the girls are putting into their school work.
Nicole and Amanda are studying "Waste in our world" in science, so they are busy growing mold, setting up a compost unit in our back yard and studying composting. For some clean fun Steve took Amanda and Nicole to the landfill for a field trip.
Sam is busy collecting evidence and investigating crime scenes. We are taking plaster of paris on our walks and she collects plaster of paris molds of anything she finds interesting.
Sam also went on a field trip with the school were she studied Interactions and Ecosystems. This is part of the grade 7 curiculum, but she loves science and got her out interacting with others.
Sam is also is making great progress building her plane model.
This month the girls ,through Girl Guildes, helped paint play houses for Habitat for Humanities. Habitat builds these playhouses and when finished, they are raffled off as a form of fund raising. We had a great time painting with 18 girls.
This month we also found out that all three girls are needing braces. We will embark down this road in November.
This Friday we are off to California for some fun in the sun. We were planning on going to San Diego, however we will have to see how the situation is there. To add to our fun in the sun I have fractured a bone in my hand. The girls are so indepent now my limitation shouldn't limit our vaction plans.
