Pic Quote of the Day (Mother Teresa)
Originally uploaded by Whatever's OK's.Found on flickr as we talk today about Mother Teresa's Inspiration Day. (Sept 10 1946)
We have declared 2008 the Summer of Super Heroes! We talked about what a hero is, what are the things that makes a person a hero..... and then K selected some people that we learned about..... Sacagawea, Ruby Bridges, Teddy Roosevelt, (she picked him!) and a few others that I can't remember off the top of my head.....
So we are continuing our summer learning by including learning about heroes on an ongoing basis.
This week- Mother Teresa!
K and her plot
Originally uploaded by justynrebecca.Jnr Master Gardener!
K is doing Jnr Master Gardener again this year..... she loved it last year, and so did I! Every week she came home with interesting knowledge about gardening. Eventually she learned more than I know about gardening, I think I will join L if he would like to do it next year too!
She is sharing a plot with her friend F this year.

Blue Print Music today- from the balcony!

First swarm call of the season!
Originally uploaded by annamaren.This year we have been kept busy with swarm calls, but as Jamie and I are both helping, it's felt pretty manageable for Rob hopefully.
The kids are really good about coming along to pick-up a swarm.
K has claimed a swarm that went to friends in Zionsville, she will help me manage the hive in my friend Kelly's beautiful garden!
Make your own Magnetic Poetry
Originally uploaded by annamaren.When K was in a preliterate stage, we had a whole words learning environment, I had everything labeled with little word tags, magnetic poetry, etc etc.... I just got the Magnetic Poetry out for L, and will be starting to tag things. So once again we will have a dishwasher that says "dishwasher" etc......
K and L at the tennis courts
Originally uploaded by annamaren.So we've gotten hooked on tennis this spring!
I had been thinking of introducing a fun sport that the whole family could enjoy, a team sport..... and we kind of fell into tennis as a fun option!
K is loving it, and L is too. There are awesome courts at the park just down the road from our house, we go when we can. This summer K will have classes as part of an Indy Parks/ National Junior Tennis League program!
(Oh, and it's good exercise for the mama!)
Our love notes for the world.
Originally uploaded by annamaren.Trying to keep up with the homeschooling blog....only a month behind- sheesh!
So going all the way back to April..... We wrote some love notes to Indianapolis and went around downtown putting them in places where people would find them! (inspired nby www.HopeRevo.Com)
It made some handwriting into a fun adventure. : )
