For breakfast he had poached eggs, lunch was potato skins and dinner was breaded chicken with corn on the cob and twice […]
This is just a quick post to share our plans for tomorrow, Juneteenth. It’s hard to believe, but I don’t think I had heard until last year of this holiday that celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. Here’s some of the history of Juneteenth, in case you are like me and hadn’t

School technically ends for us next week, but since the pandemic is still going on it will be awhile before we are able to get back to our “normal” routine. So, I’m putting together some unit studies to help us all (ok, mostly me) stay sane. I asked Animal Lady (7) what types of things
