What to take...

Katie had a project to name some important things to take with her as an immigrant to America in Colonial times. The first thing on her list was books- doesn't sound bad. Then I had to explain to her that a cell phone wouldn't be one of them. She was a little upset that they couldn't call their families from the boat and tell them they were doing okay and to send more corn bread and juice. Somedays it is hard to save the laughter for later, but I think she learned a lot. Her final list looked like this:

1. Books (she has to learn on the boat)
2. Food (she might get hungry)
3. Water (she might get thirsty)
4. Paper and Pen (to write home to her friend M down the street)
5. clothes (an afterthought with some prompting)

Cute! You are making me want to home school. :) Thinking about these moments that parents miss when they send the kiddies to a teacher.
