A World without walls
everyday life while homeschooling overseas
I feel like it's really important not just to read, but to really connect with what you're reading. It expands your world and your experience and can add to your wisdom and enjoyment of life. Andrew really took this to heart this week. I assigned him to read the book 'Holes' as his next Literature Unit. He loved it so much, he read it 3 times in one week, then decided to do a 'final project'--Digging holes! He and Peter have done their school work in the evening, then filled up 'canteens' (water bottles) and made up snacks to leave in the fridge so that they can get up super early in the morning and dig holes in the backyard! The backyard has never looked worse, but they are having SO much fun! They've found all sorts of 'treasures' and 'history'--like broken roof tiles, and neat blocks of granite and weird worms and underground critters. Why not? At least they're outside.

I loved this book. I'm a sucker for fairy tales/fantasy. This was so well written! I can't wait to read all the rest of her books!

**Still lots of fun the second time around! I do like this book for a comfortable...
