I should have posted on Saturday. I spent several hours at the Penguin Plunge as my teammate and 21 of our 6th graders jumped in the 37 degree water. I took pictures. Like this one...
Those splashes are the kids running in... and back out very quickly!
Today we got Alexa's homework underway. I called it homework only because she is always complaining about wanting homework. I can't explain that. Anyhow her 100th day of school is Tuesday. To celebrate the teacher asked the kids to bring in 100 eatable items that fit into a zip lock bag. We choose 100 bunny crackers.
Apparently they will be have a feast to celebrate in the afternoon. Alexa counted out ten piles of ten.
All set!
We also headed to the library today. This was a sad trip as our library's children's section was damaged a few weeks back by a burst pipe. We hadn't been since. Chloe was VERY sad to find the whole chapter book section closed off. She was so looking forwadr to stocking up on new reading material. She literally had tears rolling down her face. We were able to find some things for her and she cheered up a bit.
The librarian hopes to have it open again a few more weeks. They lost a lot of books though so we know who we want to donate some money to this year.
Things I have learned from my children, an incomplete list

The point of painting is not THE painting. It is PAINTING. The end result
