Ho Ho Ho

Sorry about the gap in blogging… a misplaced birth certificate on the weekend had me scrambling to get the papers and procedure together to order another. Gotta love government procedure! And the panic that finding it missing on a Sunday causes was definitely NOT helpful to getting things done. There is a picture blog following this one for the excess images! Check it out!

November 27-28

Tuesday was rather unexciting with schoolwork and cleaning and my going through the files on my computer for December and our Advent season. BUT we did take the boys out and FINALLY get some boots. 3 pairs at K-Mart for under 50.00… not bad! Sadly the twins are the only ones without runny noses.

Broken Babies

We did manage to carry through on the regular topics, just not dinosaurs. Emanuel spent most of the day asleep or on the couch. And poor Echo’s face, it looks worse than it did before BUT much better bump wise!

Poor face

Wednesday was a pretty special day for us… With Nana and Baba we went to Macy’s in Minneapolis and saw the very special Santa display!

In front of the Santa Village

Absolutely love this electronics in a vending machine

Checking out the displays

We had our afternoon lesson of course, this time with Little Passports heading all the way to BRAZIL! We read our letter, examined our special gifts and placed our sticker on the map. We added Countries of the World: Brazil by Zilah Deckker as our additional resource. There were some amazing pictures in this book!

Here it is

Trinity and her favourite part about Brazil. I got these sheets off of Activity Village

Then I printed off some worksheets from Activity Village and Education.com to get us going a little further and Ken found us a book at the library for some pictures and general information. I found a great Samba video to share on youTube:

We are definitely being very basic on our learning about these countries so far, the interest is there and we are always trying to add to what information we are given.
