Our Home

In a great rush, just realized blogger has scheduled an outage in 10 minutes...

LO's SS class read a poem today about the author's home. Their assignment tonight was to draw a picture of their own home; write some characteristics of their home; write a poem about their home; compare their poem to the poem they read today.

I was so pleased to see the characteristics she listed included "laughter" and "happiness." The other characteristics had to do with our neighborhood at large, good neighbors, dogs, friendly people.

She went outside to draw her picture at dusk and was out there well past dark. I had to wonder how on earth she would do in the dark. I was pretty pleased with her final product, and asked her if I could post it. For *once* she agreed. (I ask a lot; usually she says, NO.)

Here is her drawing.

(Whew. Made it with 2 minutes to spare!!)
