Summer, for both Faith and myself, means spending a lot more time at home. That means coming up with new and interesting things to do.
Here Faith is making caterpillars out of an egg carton.
The finished product!
On Friday, we went to the Children's Museum with a friend and her daughter. Faith was nervous around all the other kids, but she has the knack for finding the one area in the whole museum that has no other kids momentarily playing there.
Here she is fishing out of a bass boat.
She was thrilled that there were two play kitchens there!
Faith also liked the grocery store. Look at that concentration!
I've also been trying to spend a day or two at school every week working on getting my room ready. There are seven bulletin boards in this room. I have them all covered right now, but I'm still working on figuring out what else to put on them.
There's a lot that I need to do curriculum-wise, but it's hard for me to work too far ahead. If I do stuff before the school year starts, I just end up changing it all once I meet the kids. I'm still adjusting to the idea of eighth grade and trying to figure out what will and will not work. It'll be a lot of trial and error this year (hopefully not too much error!).
