Week Six -- Never Eat Slimy Worms

'Monster Stew is made with dogs.' 

 Halloween is on its way and it's a top three favorite holiday in the Hannah household. Naturally that means we get to do lots of Halloween-y themed things. Like our journal prompts.

This week we learned about maps. We started off with seeing where we were locally and then expanding all the way out to our solar system.

We made a compass and learned the importance of Never Eating Slimy Worms. This led to a discussion where I explained it wasn't really kosher to eat worms in general unless you were in a culture where worm-eating was considered a delicacy and even then it'd probably be best to politely decline. I don't think that message got through . . .

In math we started solving for 'what number' which is eerily similar to some pre-algebra stuff and it gave me bad flashbacks. So far it looks like Little Bug is far better at math than I ever was.

We drew our own map of the house complete with a legend and compass.

And then he used the map to give me directions to different areas in the house. While wearing a dalmatian costume. Because everything is better in costume.

We finished Charlotte's Web!! Which is good because it was a week overdue at the library and the librarian wasn't thrilled. But then, she never seems thrilled about anything other than sighing and making her lovely patrons feel like an inconvenience :) So in honor of finishing the book, we rented the movie and had a family movie night.

There's nothing quite like watching your little one's innocence crumble to the floor like sand when they show *spoiler alert* Charlotte's death scene montage set to music. Good thing we haven't watched Old Yeller. So it's on to a new classic now-                                                                                     -Peter Pan!
