WEEKS TO COME: Today was low-key for MPA. We kept busy, but close to 'campus.' We worked on a long math review chapter (lots of decimals and common deliminators). We wrote haikus about the library. We baked four kinds of cookies and made fondant and royal icing, and the kids had yoga. We had frozen yogurt for lunch and listened to "The Wall," CJ's latest musical obsession.
Oh, and speaking of CJ and music, at about 6:20 this a.m I looked over at him and he was standing and kind of twitching to and fro, with the epicenter somewhere in the vicinity of his hips. I asked him what the heck we was doing and without missing a beat he replied, "The Harlem Shake." Nice. Never too early to start your day off with the latest dance craze. Gangnam Style is sooo last month.
My hands were covered in batter, frosting or some other sticky mess most of the day, so I didn't take any photos. Sorry. Hopefully the multiple dozen I took yesterday bide me some time.
We've got a busy couple of weeks ahead. For instance, March 18-22 is Solar Week. It's a chance to interact live with solar scientists from NASA. Check out the Solar Week Web site for daily curriculum, games, activities and more: http://www.solarweek.org/cms/
And the following week, it's our annual participation in United Way of King County's Hunger Action Week, where we'll live on the grocery budget of a family receiving food stamps. It's always an excellent math exercise and a great reminder of the challenges so many face every single week. Check it out here: http://www.uwkc.org/news-events/event-calendar/haw/
