Homeschool in '08 and Starfish Hi-Fives

Some things we've been working on since the start of our Spring Semester: What is the difference between a continent, a country, a state, a city, a neighborhood? Several books we've made: Excerpts from Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech including the most incredible drawings of the "curvaceous slopes of California." A book called "Max's Big Day" about a r/c car at his first race. A 3D car garage with a sand shovel as a lift for the mechanics to get a look under the car's carriage. We've had hikes at the arboretum and visited a Japanese market.

Clara has taught us all the "starfish hi-5," which is a regular hi-5 except you spread your fingers and you don't really slap that hard. I found her teaching it to Calliope and of course, to all of us now, it is all the rage.
