Then, last night we watched 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea as a family. (Great movie. If I've seen it, I don't remember it.) My son compared it continually to the book he had read last year. And the kids now know what a kraken is. Thanks for the great ideas.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885394458317264217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598841562237715955.post-89829341571026388502014-06-02T20:23:36.563-07:002014-06-02T20:23:36.563-07:00I wonder sometimes if schools are killing love of ...I wonder sometimes if schools are killing love of reading with too many drills and tests. My daughter has lost all interest in non-fiction after a disastrous "non-fiction unit" in the first grade. She is still refusing to read non-fiction unless it's "disguised" as a story (think, You Wouldn't Want to Be...) series. Your squid is adorable, by the way!Natalie PlanetSmartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531558038661679151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598841562237715955.post-22482032060522075782014-06-02T17:54:48.304-07:002014-06-02T17:54:48.304-07:00"A promise of an adventure" - love that,..."A promise of an adventure" - love that, the best books often are!

Giving them away is fun too - but only the ones that don't take a lot of time to make, so I'm not sad if they get torn apart :)An Almost Unschooling Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784076035361200243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598841562237715955.post-29554009643112613292014-05-30T06:40:06.489-07:002014-05-30T06:40:06.489-07:00It always impresses me the little crocheted toys y...It always impresses me the little crocheted toys you make and how quickly you can turn them out.<br /><br />So, what do you do with all the toys you make? Do you keep them, give them away?
