Our flower collection (part one)
This spring I have been keeping a collection of the flowers blooming in our new home. With each passing week, new ones appeared to my great delight. Some are familiar and others are not, but they are all beautiful and remind us of our great Creator who made all things. If you know the names of any that are not already labeled, please leave a comment so that we can learn their names too. Thanks!

TOGY1U4 celebration
To finish our schoolyear and our Ancient Roman study, we celebrated by displaying projects. We also prepared and ate a meal based on foods the Romans would have eaten.

The Rights of the Reader
While at the library yesterday and what better place to find the rights of the reader, I was perusing the May/June 2009 copy of "The Horn Book" and came across a mention of Daniel Pennac's "The Rights of the Reader". Being unfamiliar with this author and his list, I looked them up today. Here is what I found.
What we read - May 2009
I love you! A bushel & a peck by Frank Loesser
My grandmother and the children's Gigi (great-grandmother) sang this song from "Guys and Dolls" to us. Sweet song.
The perfect pony by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
A fun book about a mother and girl's search for a pony that is just right for the girl.
The bunnies' trip by Lezlie Evans
An enjoyable read concerning a family of bunnies preparing for a journey.
Fancy Nancy - Bonjour, butterfly by Jane O'Connor
We have yet to meet a Fancy Nancy book that we do not like.
Miss Bindergarten has a wild day in kindergarten by Joseph Slate
Another fun alphabet book in this series.
Cowardly Clyde by Bill Peet
Though one of the longer picture books this time, a particular favorite for Leora who read it repeatedly.
Angelina and Alice by Helen Craig
An Angelina Ballerina books emphasizing friendship.
Ste-e-e-e-eamboat a-comin! by Jill Esbaum
Fun poetry picture boat about an earlier day and time.
