Catching up
This week has been a good week with lots of fun activities. Preston started out the week by making an edible oasis after studying some of the deserts in his geography lesson. It was made purely of sugar and boy did he enjoy eating his creation at the end. As we moved further along in our week we studied some of the dynasties of China...so we decided to have lunch at a Chinese restaurant. We sampled a variety of things and even tried our hand at chopsticks. In the end it turned out to be more a sport of spear fishing than chopsticks...but it was fun to try!! On Friday, the boys and I went to see the Slim Goodbody show to go along with our anatomy unit. It was very fun and educational. I can see why this show has been around for "years" as many have told me!! We then headed over to the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center and took in a concert by The Florida Orchestra. The concert was fabulous and so educational!! It focused on the use of humor in music...I never would have known!! We learned so much about a few of the composers and a bit of their personalities as they made fun of others through their music. All in all it was a great week and can't wait to share what we do next week with everyone!! Finally, I spent the morning volunteering at the same distance race that I recently completed. It was an enjoyable event and a good opportunity to give back to the sport that offers so much to me. It gave me great appreciation for all of the volunteers that make a race run so smoothly!! Well, that is about all that has been up at the Radford's this week...so until next time!!
