5 x 5 for 5th Grade
Never a dull moment at the Calderwood house! We all woke up, had a nice breakfast, said goodbye to Dad, made a plan for the school day, and went upstairs to change clothes. I organized all the wonderful schoolwork Days 14-17 from Connecticut and I started typing in some of Sophie's work—a compromise she and I because she had done such good work on paper and had so much to type in—when I heard crying from upstairs. It didn't take me long to recognize real pain crying and not the typical pre-school I-can't-get-my-own-way cries and I rushed upstairs. Lily was setting up a shadow-puppet show in her room and she grabbed hold of a very hot, bare light bulb with her right hand. She has severe blistering and second-degree burns on her right pointer and middle finger and part of the pad of her hand. Poor thing. I was very proud of
Sophie, who handled her cool during the crisis and stayed calm and comforted Lily during her pain—and even did some schoolwork while I tended to Lily!
After doctor visits, pharmacy stores, and pain medication, and a good lunch—thanks so much to Gamma who came to the rescue (like always) and made it possible for me to drive and think—we started on school.
Most of our day was spent going over the work she did while visiting my Dad and his wife and then typing and uploading those blog posts. Sophie did a lot of good work! She did a great webquest I designed on Native Americans and we made a nice afternoon trip to the library (can't keep Lily down)!
It's been a long but successful day and the girls are out in the driveway playing and enjoying the last bit of warn weather for the year and I am about to order pizza for Kev's last night home before his long trip to Asia for work. Before bed we will play Apples to Apples and we'll re-wrap Lily's bandages. We have a busy, fun day planned for tomorrow and so blessed and thankful that both our girls are well and happy.

Library: After a couple hours rest and "feeling much better Momma," the girls and I went to Patten Free Library to return our books, visit Courtney, and check out new books. Lily most looked forward to playing with the doll house in the Children's Room and Sophie was pleased when I told her she didn't have to check out a "school book." Lily checked out four picture books about dinosaurs and Sophie picked out a novel called Ally Finkle and a book about the Penobscot Indians.
Sophie's Blog: Write 5 good sentences summarizing what happened in Chapters 5 & 6 in The Lost Voyage of John Cabot.
Sebastian Cabot got a job as a river guide and was very happy about that. But there's a bad side of the story, one of Cabot's ship's got shipwrecked in Ireland. But they do not know which one. The big mystery is still in Sebastian's head as he decides to leave to Ireland and leave his mother behind, or wait with her until he hears more news. You will just have to wait and see, so will I.
