Alexandra and I had our Think! club yesterday. Unfortunately, neither of the other 2 girls could attend. This week we made windmills out of the following: 2 pieces of paper, 2 straws, 1 button, 6 inches of thread (we cheated and made this piece longer, but after sewing it was probably 6 inches or less) and a button. This was a lot of fun and took quite a bit of "think"ing!

About Me
Welcome to my blog! I homeschooled our only daughter, Alex, for 6 years... from kindergarten through 5th grade. Last year Alex started attending a private school. But, I still enjoy learning and passing on what I learn to others!
I also love to travel and read! So, this blog is mainly an archive of our homeschool days, along with my present-day education, reading, and traveling!
If you enjoy my blog, please leave me a message! I love to hear from you all!

Very cute!
I used to make these windmills! What an exciting memory! I loved them... So simple, but they worked EVERY time.
