chanda's completed lesson page about lightning. she included a poem by a japanese writer:
september lightning . .
white calligraphy
on high
silhouettes the hill.
naito joso (1662 - 1704)
a diagram of different types of lightning and how the positive and negative charges react with the earth.
morgana helped me prepare one of my crafts for tomorrow's fair . . here she is sorting acorn caps according to size: too large for the peg doll's head, too small for the peg doll's head and perfect for the peg doll's head. some of the smaller and bigger ones will get hair (roving) and elmer's glue to help hold the cap in place.
capes for the dolls . . cut out just before going to bed.
Finally catching up with you! The city was on a blackout from Saturday until today, so no internet or computer :-)
ReplyDeleteAs always thanks for taking me along with you to rehearsals, gatherings, moving days and at home crafting. I hope Korrina settles in well in her new home ans that she isn't too far fro you to visit :-)
We are listening to an adaptation of the Christmas Carol courtesy of the BBC Schools Radio, it might be worth a listen whilst baking or crafting?
Love to you all and once again thank you for the advent calendar, Pip has had fun catching up on the missed days due to the power cuts x
Wow! I didn't realize you had such a bad storm. I'm glad all is set right now.
DeleteI'll have to check out the BBC radio. It would be really nice to listen to while knitting! I love Dickens :)
Dorina, you are as busy as we are. I find there is not even time to blog these days. Right now I am grading my last exam before the final next week. Tomorrow is our last dress rehearsal and then we will have three performances, but Peter and I still have to teach tomorrow and Friday. Kind of crazy, but at least Charlotte is doing better.

ReplyDeleteOh, Eva. I know. It's so busy and I don't know if I could do it with exams to grade also. Kudos to you! It's not easy. I hope college responsibilities are soon taken care of and you can focus on the holiday season :) I'm glad Charlotte is doing better and I wonder how the show went tonight for you? I'm sure they are all having a wonderful time!
DeleteVery well and Charlotte is fine again, but you already know this by now. Today Flora got a cold. I hope it will pass soon.
