Dear Sis,
Today we juggled our homeschooling with a midwife visit and some shopping. Luckily, I had a freezer meal thawed for Daddy to throw in the oven for lunch!
Our Daily Reading
Today’s fiction selection, Animal Airways by Andrea Patric and Sally Hopgood, is a great count along book to practice 1-10. It also covers some geography as the plane makes it’s way around the globe.
Today’s non-fiction selection, Airplanes Take Off and Land by Patrick T. McBriarty, covers the entire process of flying an airplane, in detail. William loves it, but it might not hold the interest of a less patient, or less aviation crazed, toddler:)

Flying a Model Plan – Fitness Activity
We found a foam glider at Dollar Tree, a few months ago and saved it for this lesson. A balsa wood glider, would also work nicely.
Love,
