They were as follows: Quack Shack Pig Wig Tricia’s Best Talent Biscuit Wants to Play Please Mom, Just 5 More Minutes Russ and those who are even remotely aware of who Olivia is understand the 5 books tonight please… I love that she asked. I love that we read. She’s gaining daily in word […]
It's 33 and 5 O'clock!
Bugs is telling us the time… her way. She’s finally starting to distinguish between the time and temperature on the thermostat too. Identification of the hour is standard, and she discerns the minutes from the hour just fine. Often, she associates an activity with the physical time stating, “What is it the time for?”, or […]
Her Evening Canopy
She’s learning about the pictures and art in our night sky. We use a projector and software called Stellarium. Tonight she talked with Russ about the consistency and makeup of the planets. Russ would you please add some detail to her descriptions of planet specifics?

Planting Trees
Today, while Bugz was outside playing, she decided to plant a tree. I stumbled upon her project while routinely checking in on her play, after hearing silence for a bit too long. In her sandbox, Bugz had placed a tree branch, with about a dozen small branches attached. She was shoveling sand at the base, […]
