Homework!

Homework was sent home this week for ME! Don and I had to write about a family celebration and describe how we celebrate. Their learning unit this term is "Celebrations", so all their lessons stem from this basic concept. I decided to take this opportunity to create a scrapbook page (multi-tasking is GOOD) for Colin's scrapbook... He will present his mom and dad's homework at school, then we'll put it in the scrapbook... at least that's the plan.

Here 'tis!

India Week at BASC

I think I've got British School fever, this school does such fun things! This week, they are celebrating India Week. Some of the middle school students created a blog to highlight the activites of the week. They made Indian Rangoli, have sampled Indian Foods, and tomorrow will be receiving a henna tattoo! Such fun!

Reading Award

Don and I started out this school year with the thought that, if Colin was reading fluently by the end of the year, we would be happy. You see, he really wasn't reading yet! By October, he was definitely reading, and by Christmas he was reading EVERYTHING in sight. We are delighted with his progress in reading, and even more happy that he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence at school for his wonderful progress.  Great job, Little Man!
