SL Core F
Week 18 & 19
March 3rd-7th, 2014
It is still frozen here! And this photo, taken by Dd, was taken on Friday when it got all the way up to 50 degrees!!! See it melting! Yay! Friday we sat outside and heard groups of Sandhill Cranes flying over us ALL DAY! I looked up what groups of Sandhill Cranes are technically called---a "siege"!
We only had a few things to do on the "Week 18" IG, so I added those items to the "Week 19" list and we did both this week. I wasn't counting on my migraine continuing on from last week; but with lots more pain, from last week. I might have made this a Science or Art week or something else if I had known ahead of time; but I didn't get the memo ahead of time. Thursday and Friday were my worst days when the pain won and I had to go back to bed in the afternoon. But, Friday was such a beautiful day! Dd and I spent at least 4 hours in our backyard! She played soccer while I read our Read Aloud's in my hammock.
Our activities for this week were--Monday we took advantage of the COLD weather and tried some craft I saw--you fill up balloons with food coloring, then add water, then shake, and put outside to freeze.
 |
| These were the insides of frozen balloons. They didn't all freeze all the way through; and you can see some are hollow. It just depended on where we placed them. We put them in three different places around our yard. |
Tuesday was Swim & Gym.
 |
| This was a game of Kickball; here Dd is coming in to make a "run". After this game they did their swimming lessons. I was kind enough not to take any photo's of that! |
Wednesday was our visit to the LeFebvre's house! I got to drink tea and chat with my friend. Dd got to play with the boys! She brought the swords she made from yard sticks and cardboard. They got to sword fight, they played outside, and who know's what else! They are a lot of fun.
Thursday was our co-op, and Dd built a 'rover' in her "Mission to Mars" class.
She also had Gym and Drama class. Afterwards we went to Arbuckle Park with our ice cream cones. Then we went to the library. My brain wasn't working much that with my head hurting; but Dd got a few things done.

| Dd made these two necklaces this week. She has made quite a few; but I don't usually remember to take a photo of them. |
Friday we spent outside in our yard---and did our lessons until my migraine got bad and I had to go to bed. I gave her instructions on what to do without me.
4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You
shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them
when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you
lie down, and when you rise. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Core F Add-in Book for the Week:
Our Living Earth: A Story of People, Ecology, and Preservation by Isabelle Delannoy
Our Living Earth by Isabelle Delannoy
From Booklist
Arthus-Bertrand’s stunning aerial photographs, collected in his internationally best-selling series of Earth from Above books, illuminate both the planet’s extraordinary diversity and humans’ devastating ecological impact. In this volume, broadly themed chapters introduce a multitude of issues, all related to a single basic question: how do we sustain life on Earth? The eye-catching spreads center around statistics about each subject, from figures on salary disparities among men and women in wealthy countries to the amount of water needed to produce a single pound of commercial beef. Combined with clear definitions of concepts such as NGOs and fair trade, the statistics, fascinating on their own, show the profound connections among the issues. It’s both disappointing and surprising that no source notes are included for any of these numbers, greatly diminishing both the credibility of the statistics and the book’s potential as a student reference source. Still, the photographs are exceptional, and the range of subjects will give young readers a captivating, highly browsable overview of environmental issues that they can research further in better-documented, focused titles. Grades 6-12. --Gillian Engberg

DVD:
Gandhi
It took us 4-5 viewings to watch this really long movie; it even has an "Intermission"; but well worth it. This movie has LOTS of violence--be warned! We had to fast forward a LOT. This is not a movie for young children, or sensitive people of any age. But, if you are alright with fast forwarding through the violence you really do see an excellent movie that teaches a lot about India.
