February 2014

February has flown by!

Peter is still plugging away at his student teaching. The next book on the list: 1984. He put a lot of effort into creating a "front loading" activity for his students... this is a kind of preview before studying the book. It relates the themes in 1984 to things the students can relate to today. You can check it out HERE

We only have two months left in Arkansas...!!!

What we're reading: 12 Years a Slave by Solomon Northup. It's the true memoir and account, recently made into an Oscar-winning movie. I want to finish the book, then we'll check out the flick. Warning: it will make you cry.

What we're watching: Pete was really excited to go see The Lego Movie. We went to a cheap $4 showing. It was cute and funny.

What we're doing: Honestly... not much! Pete has been working really hard developing his curriculum, and we've just been bumming around the apartment escaping the nasty weather. We're ready for spring!

What we're eating: When we do get out, sometimes on a Saturday morning we like to go to a great local place, Rick's Bakery. They sell delicious biscuits and gravy for $2 a plate. Mmmm...
