SCHOOL - MONDAY

WOW - the day was started all wrong (as I mentioned below I didn't get up in time to have breakfast ready by 7:00 a.m.) BUT.....

When I checked our TOG for the week it is a very LIGHT week. Yippee! Last week the littles and I got two weeks done and our Christmas studies as well. I'm not sure if we'll do two more weeks this week because it is so light...or if we'll spend more time on Christmas stuff....We may take next week off. My older children want to push....but I have STUFF that I've got to do.

After our TOG - WW2 stuff - we talked about nativities. I'll post the blurb they dictated next. We took the cute nativity graphic from Hands of a Child....and adapted it. This is another little booklet for our Christmas lap book.

First we enlarged the shape of the stable from HOAC and traced it on to card stock. We needed more room than their little book provided to write information on. Then we cut out the little nativity figures, colored them, glued them on the HOAC nativity and glued THAT on to the front of our book. All that was left was cutting out the blurb they'd dictated and gluing it in. You'll notice one of them has a stable that opens up and one down. LOL

not sure if it's my computer or not, but the pictures aren't showing up! I'm having fun imagining what your nativity flap books look like. They sound really neat.

Hmmm...they are on my screen...but that doesn't tell us much. LOL I remember some of your home photos weren't showing up for Dorothy last week...and were for me....

Really, I think blogger sometimes have yahoo-like glitches...I couldn't comment at Dorothy's, Debbie's or Heather's earlier and now I can....
