We nonetheless have some faculty classes to knock out in the present day since yesterday we let just a few slide in favor of being outdoors within the solar (no regrets). However first, let’s dig into some Friday favs…

Kitchen Renovation
Regardless of being inconvenient, the renovation course of has been actually fascinating for me to observe. I don’t have a pure eye for imagining format/decor modifications so to see it remodel has been actually cool. Our kitchen goes to really feel doubled in dimension and little particulars like double pull out trash cans and smooth shut cupboards have me feeling giddy. Taking cupboards to the ceiling and placing a full panel beside the fridge additionally appear to have made a huge effect. I’ll do a publish with a closing reveal when it’s finished, however till then, here’s a peek on the earlier than and in course of.
Amazon Prime Sellers

US Authorities Mini Unit
Being that it’s an election yr and the women have been asking questions concerning the course of, I figured now can be a good time to show the women concerning the formation of our authorities and the way it runs. I selected a Collect Spherical mini unit. We’ve finished Collect Spherical full items within the pasta (area, farming and meals, chemistry) and have at all times discovered them participating, so I ordered the US Authorities mini unit and two higher elementary workbooks so each ladies would have similar workbooks. In spite of everything, my objective for this was largely to undergo the trainer handbook and have them keep engaged, to not use it as a core curriculum.
Effectively, now we have all been actually having fun with it! The teachings are brief; they take us roughly 20 minutes to finish, however we’ve additionally been taking place rabbit trails of nice conversations primarily based on their questions. The unit begins with the formation of the federal government, the structure, the invoice of rights, federal versus state energy, and builds from there. As a historical past nerd, it’s a lot enjoyable for me to show and the youngsters have each actually been intrigued by the content material. Extremely advocate.
And that’s it for now. I hope you’ve gotten a WONDERFUL weekend and get an opportunity to get outdoors for some recent air and sunshine. <3
