Hannah's Assignment continued

Last week I gave Hannah the assignment of taking pictures of fall and I thought she did a great job.  She enjoyed it so much that she asked to take pictures around our neighborhood so here they are -

She is turning into quite the photo bug.

I have collected some more links that will help you enhance your holidays.

Crayola  has some things at this site for Thanksgiving.

Kraft  has some decorating ideas for Christmas.
Kraft will also donate 10 meals for every free e-card you send from this site.

Lesson Plans page has a lot of lesson plans for Thanksgiving.

About.com has 100 gift ideas at this site.

I confessed to be a Disney fan a few posts ago.  Here you print out some cute Disney decortions for your Thanksgiving Table.

And last but not least I get current events articles and questions from this site.  Hannah is really learning alot about a variety of things.  I don't use it everyday but it is a good start for current events.  And of course all of these are FREE sites.

worry

I am reading Max Lucado's new book "Fearless".  It is all about our fears and worries.  He made a statement that I read yesterday that really hit home.  "Seek first the kingdom of weath, and you'll worry over every dollar.  Seek first the kingdom of health, and you'll sweat over every blemish and bump.  Seek first the kingdom of popularity, and you'll relive every conflict.  Seek first the kingdom of safety, and you'll jump at every crack of the twig. But seek first His kingdom, and you will find it. On that we can depend and never worry." - Max Lucado.

I find this so true about everything.  When ever I worry it just seems to magnify whatever I am worrying about.  This is a very good book and I will post a full review when I finish it but I thought I would share these thoughts today.

The homeschool link for today is who's who and what's what.  This is a current events quiz from the New York Times that runs M-F during the school year.  If they don't know the answers the quiz links to an article where  they can find the answer.
