Have you heard of Red Nose Day? It is a fundraising effort here to support Comic Relief, a charity that helps homeless UK youth as well as supporting efforts in Africa. There are lots of entertainers involved and some funny red noses for sale at Sainsbury. It must be an "in" thing for the 5th graders, because Grace was very excited to get one.
Even Jack got in on the red nose action. This was a sunny morning and everyone was in a good mood on the ride to school. Even Rosie was excited about a walk.
Rosie running full speed ahead coming towards me.
Grace and Jack had their student-led conferences on Thursday. This is unlike anything we had in our schools in Texas. Your child spends about an hour showing you their work and telling you about their goals. It is sort of like a progress report through the student's eyes. Grace and Jack seemed so grown up telling me about their work.
Spring is coming with these beauties coming up in our front flower beds. Yellow daffodils line many of the roads here now.
We had a fun afternoon yesterday seeing the play Goodnight Mister Tom. It was really good, and a perfect day for something inside.
Today was another rainy day and our "garden" is back to being a muddy swamp. Michael makes the best coffee, and that made the afternoon a little better!
My kids have been asking me for red noses every time we go to Sainsbury's! It's a cute idea!!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the sign of Spring!! Can't wait to see all the full blooms.
Looks like you have had a good week. I am doing much the same as you. Enjoying walks with our dog (Bella) and enjoying watching the crocuses and daffodils come up. There are signs of spring everywhere (yay!) My son is 14 so he has not been overly impressed with the red noses. I miss the days when he was a bit younger and would enjoy these fun things.
