3 pictures for you

Today it rained and rained and rained.. we finally went to buy boots.
It took three stores to finally find pairs for the whole family. We
celebrated by braking them in... well.. I stood in the water and took
pictures. They were soaked, just from spashing.

and they wanted to do it again after diner.

Mom, I can't find "need" in the dictionary ..

M: what letter are you looking at

Z: "o"

M: laugh!!! Sorry, I shouldn't have laughed 

z: it's okay, I like it when you laugh, especially if I did it

Studies of Picasso

Zoe's study on Picasso and those of her classmates

Ear piercing

Zoe got her ears pierced at Big daddy's tattoo parlor. These guys were amazing. Super fast, no tears, just clean, hand held needles... Crazy!

Look what I can do night at school

Last week:

Last night was "look what I can do night" at school

Zoe showed me the letters Y and Z in Egyptian, middle eastern, Greek and Roman. Turns out the letter Z was used as a symbol for weapon in Egypt and the Middle East. She also did a few other jobs.. I am impressed by all the different areas she examines in her day.  She is definitely getting a better grounding in grammar than I ever had.

Finneas showed me a numbers task with wooden trees and pegs representing apples and leaves.  Then he read some text and showed me some sorting and counting coin task.  He also San huge coin song they were working on.
