Week 1: Sept 4-7

Monday - Labor day
Tuesday - Lessons

Wednesday - Chicago's Shedd Aquarium



We went on our first field trip today: the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. Josh is off work this week so we planned this quick get away for the kids to kick off the school year.

Thursday Highlights:

I asked Noah to draw his favorite animal that he saw yesterday. He surprised me by drawing snakes. We didn't see very many at all, but they made quite an impression on him I guess.

I also asked him to draw a turtle, shark, sea horse and an octopus.

This evening we walked downtown for "Art Beat" and got to see lots of drawing, painting, pottery & jewelry. We were also lucky enough to watch a couple of flaminco dancers for awhile.

Friday: Lots and lots of reading!
