Thank you Ms Polacco

If you have never read "Thank You Mr. Falker" you need to. I dont care if you have kids 2 years or 22 years old it is a MUST read. Sitting out in the swing in the front yard after lunch today I read this book to the kids. They loved it and I cried! What a great story. I dont want to tell any of the story because I dont want to give it away. It is now in my top three of favorites. Probably the top.. what a great story..

We have had a great day today. After completing the daily book work we ate lunch, I read to the kids and then we played some t-ball.
The kids were split into teams and we made a small baseball field in the backyard. We had a great time. I forgot how much I loved baseball :) we might have to head out to the park in the next few days and play on a real field. :)

Heres a bit more info of what we have learned recently.

in History we learned of the death of Julius Ceasar. (everyone but Kamie) After I was done Catherine asked if all of it was really true.. like "thats so great it must be a fiction story"!..

In Science we have moved on to Jupiter. Learned its made up of Helium and Hydrogen and it gives off heat.. I just LOVE Apologia Science.. its great.

I am looking forward to going to the bookfair.. its always an encouragement to hear the speakers and see all the homeschoolers that go there.. The end of the year is coming fast but we have goals for the summer as well. I will continue with our Latin studies and really focus on bringing the reading levels of the boys up. They have both progressed really great and I am happy with thier work.

so I will end with a quote from the book I started this post about:
"Yes, and so is knowledge, but knowledge is like the bee that made that sweet honey, you have to chase it through the pages of a book!" .. so here is to chasing that bee of knowlege!
