The Family Under the Bridge

Okay, for the tenth time, I swear I'll update this more regularly.

November's book was "The Family Under the Bridge" by Natalie Carlson, about a homeless man in Paris whose heart gets stolen by a family of 3 young children and their mother. My kids gave this book a rating of: Okay.

Our activiities included:

1. Used foam shapes to make an Eiffel Tower.
2. The Cooking Club made French bread from scratch and it was delicious!
3. Reviewed 3 more books about Paris, its history, and architecture.
4. Constructing a "gypsie camp":

In October, we read The Witches by Road Dahl. My kids rated this book as: totally cool. We did the following:

1. Made witches potions, like glittery goo, sugar crystals, and a color changing bubbling potion.
2. Went to the pet shop to play with mice and ask questions about training them.
3. Create a strategy plan for if a witch comes after you.
4. Online quizzes.
5. Dress up!

Happy Halloween!
