We're officially taking a week off from homeschooling, but what does that mean? It means reading, crafts, games, and a chance for me to plan for the three weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas Break!
Books I plan to read this upcoming week include:
Three Young Pilgrims (partly because I own it)
More of Oliver Twist
The Leaf Man and Why Do Leaves Change Color?
Start reading The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
Multiple selections from Cricket's library pile!
Crafts:
I'd like to make Leaf Men/Women, inspired by The Leaf Man book mentioned above
And we'd like to make Nature Collage Suncatchers inspired by Jessica and Ben, which incidentally means we'll have to go for a good nature walk! I also have a book of nature crafts on loan from a good friend, and plan on digging through that for more ideas.
And on a side note, today is my sixteenth wedding anniversary! We're having a lovely dinner with this (including the wild rice side dish), and then a pear-gingerbread upside-down cake. And we have a movie to watch, since it is one we haven't seen yet.
Happy anniversary! Your TG week plans sound lovely.
ReplyDeleteA week off with some reading sounds nice and cozy.
