Celebrating with Mary Hollis at Loribell's

Memorial Day Weekend

Started out a little down and out (notice Anna to the far back right)...

John Caden and I went and celebrated this very special little boy's birthday...

and thankfully Anna perked up later in the weekend and we were able to get a Braves game in...

as well as a hike up Kennesaw Mountain.

Subjective Grading Dilemmas

In John Caden's Draw-Write-Now  assignment, usually his drawing turns out very similar to the one that is pictured.

 

 

But today, I was quite surprised to find the following:

 Alligators? I'm not seeing the connection with owls. So do I give him a deduction for not sticking to the assigned drawing or give him extra credit for creative thinking? Or should I be concerned that his drawing might be reflecting an inner emotional disturbance and make an appointment with a child psychologist asap?  I think I'll just hope that he was simply being a boy and was merely wanting to add a little action to the scene.

Looks like he made it to the end of the chapter :)

Anna's Violin Debut

 

Anna has always wanted to play violin, so as of January we let her switch instruments. Today she performed in her first SoliMusica Academy recital.
