Storm in the Night




We're enjoying our time with Storm in the Night!

We read a Caldecott book, Song and Dance Man by Karen Ackerman, which an endearing book with great illustrations.

And a very interesting book, Shelterwood by Susan Hand Shetterly. It is about a girl and her grandfather, who is a logger. This story would be a good nature book to come back to on its own at a later time.

We also made a cloud cake: a chocolate layer cake with 7-Minute frosting. A yummy kind of fun today!

The Last of Read-Aloud Week

Since we didn't have school at the end of last week, we finished up some books today. We must say that we all liked the ending of Snow Dog, which we finished on Saturday morning, and hope you'll read it sometime.

Abby and I need to finish some books for Gramma's Walk and we decided to start Storm in the Night today, too. And we started a new chapter book for history.
