Mom's Notes: I decided we really should re-read a favorite book at least once a year. I've been wanting to go back to Shora since we closed this book three years ago! I was especially prompted to read it after spending time with the Brinkers in Holland. We loved getting reacquainted with Lina, Janus, the boys, the storks, and so many others. We extended the story by learning about storks and being fascinated all over again. One winter morning we drank hot chocolate and played dominoes, like they do during the days and days of stormy weather. We let our own wondering lead our learning (in place of a science/history unit), sucking on lifesavers to get the juices flowing. (No "wineballs" to be found!) This is the ideal, and I do hope and pray that wondering is creating life-long learners out of us all.
