10/29/08: Love of Learning

We had some kids stay home sick and some others who just thought they needed a day off. I think Jared went into a vegetative state for 6 hours and seems to be doing much better now. There is no school Friday but we are babysitting all day and night and so they won't have any real time off. Olivia did some good love of learning activities.

Olivia
Music: Practiced part of her voice lesson
Art: Made the "Leaning Tower of Pisa" out of paper cups. She spent over an hour on this. I asked her where she had heard of the tower and she just said she knew about those types of things. Okay.

She made a sign to go with it to the right that Says "The Leaning Tower of Pisa." She told me she wasn't sure it was leaning enough though.
