Side faces were supposed to be weird, spooky, ugly, and the middle one really nice and pretty. The objective was to show the kids the marked difference between spooky and pretty :)<br /><br /></span><a style="font-family: lucida grande;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xiu1VI2rdUg/Scwu7RRWkfI/AAAAAAAAD-s/OQGnRXKiFb0/s1600-h/boy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 319px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xiu1VI2rdUg/Scwu7RRWkfI/AAAAAAAAD-s/OQGnRXKiFb0/s400/boy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317676855801057778" border="0" /></a><a style="font-family: lucida grande;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xiu1VI2rdUg/Scwu7g-b-qI/AAAAAAAAD-0/xooSng1pmeE/s1600-h/prettygirl.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 319px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xiu1VI2rdUg/Scwu7g-b-qI/AAAAAAAAD-0/xooSng1pmeE/s400/prettygirl.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317676860016687778" border="0" /></a><a style="font-family: lucida grande;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xiu1VI2rdUg/Scwu7gjqStI/AAAAAAAAD-8/L5VvClkPxZE/s1600-h/martian.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 319px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xiu1VI2rdUg/Scwu7gjqStI/AAAAAAAAD-8/L5VvClkPxZE/s400/martian.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317676859904379602" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande;font-size:85%;" >Thanks to Julia Moss for this <a href="http://kinderart.com/arthistory/bosch.shtml">lesson</a>.</span><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande;font-family:lucida grande;" ><br /></span><span style="font-family: lucida grande;font-family:lucida grande;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">{READING}</span></span><br /><br />The kids started reading Grammarland by M.L. Nesbitt. I was the smart Mama, breaking up the e-book into chapters. This way, the kids would see 2 pages (back and forth) of something they would read, instead of a whole book!<br /><br />When I asked them questions about what they had read, ALL of them (except Ranger of course!) could answer! Yes! They knew about Judge Grammer, Sergeant Parsing, and Dr Syntax! Very COOL!!! :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8954289011700223533-7350257745243806021?l=ourgss.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ronanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954289011700223533.post-81943525402178042732009-03-25T17:42:00.000-07:002009-03-26T18:14:23.171-07:00<span style="font-family: lucida grande;">Art Lesson for the day: Drawing a cartoon animal.</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: lucida grande;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xiu1VI2rdUg/ScwnS-CBAqI/AAAAAAAAD-c/eUu5xEAP7D0/s1600-h/puppy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xiu1VI2rdUg/ScwnS-CBAqI/AAAAAAAAD-c/eUu5xEAP7D0/s400/puppy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317668466860294818" border="0" /></a><a style="font-family: lucida grande;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xiu1VI2rdUg/ScwnSh3OGhI/AAAAAAAAD-M/wOxQwbUq3io/s1600-h/bunny-wars.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xiu1VI2rdUg/ScwnSh3OGhI/AAAAAAAAD-M/wOxQwbUq3io/s400/bunny-wars.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317668459298822674" border="0" /></a><a style="font-family: lucida grande;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xiu1VI2rdUg/ScwnS46gBNI/AAAAAAAAD-k/UTr1NrJa230/s1600-h/horse.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xiu1VI2rdUg/ScwnS46gBNI/AAAAAAAAD-k/UTr1NrJa230/s400/horse.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317668465486595282" border="0" /></a><a style="font-family: lucida grande;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xiu1VI2rdUg/ScwnShWadWI/AAAAAAAAD-U/v5OL-TitLWI/s1600-h/clownfish.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xiu1VI2rdUg/ScwnShWadWI/AAAAAAAAD-U/v5OL-TitLWI/s400/clownfish.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317668459161220450" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">Can you guess which kid did what?

Mama let them do their own thing for the next few weeks, just so there wouldn't be complaining about "having to do" school stuff. In the meantime, Mama did a whole of research on stuff that the kids could do; FUN stuff, so they wouldn't get bored of course!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8954289011700223533-6513392107883936770?l=ourgss.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ronanoreply@blogger.com0
