my girl...

... started caribbean steel drum lessons on monday. starts soccer next monday. today's child-built vocabulary words were - project. bobcat. stripey-cat. telephone. these she wanted to learn - sounded them out and figured out the spellings. she set up her school desk today and sharpened pencils...
at our first 'learning collective' meeting the kids created this. tonight she learned all about snails at the park and brought two home as pets. henry and rolendria.
a little bit o paint and we have a new cat in the house. sometimes in the midst of the day i forget that things actually ARE getting done. looking back i can't deny - we've had a good day. it's been a good week. and this is what it's all about... my girl is my reminder.
