School for 3 – Finally
Nolan was finally assigned a teacher today – hurray! He knows 11 out of his 35 classmates, so he’s quite happy. Lara knows 2 out of 22, and poor Felix only 1 out of 35. It’s still early in the school year so I have hopes they’ll do some small group work so there’s more […]

Given the pandemic and unrest going on worldwide, we didn’t solicit donations this time around. However, if anyone does want to help us fundraise, it’s not too late (depending when you read this)!

Call before you dig …
It’s been well over a couple of years since we did anything more than basic maintenance in the garden (all we’ve done is mow the lawn including its weeds, and put down thick layers of mulch to slow the growth of weeds). With stay-at-home in place, we decided to do something a little more in […]

Making Newton’s Cradle
You can buy the device that shows the conservation of energy, momentum and friction for $45 on Walmart, but Lara decided she wanted to make one instead. So she found a youtube video and got to work.

Month 2 of physical distancing
We are very fortunate that there has been minimal impact on our family during the covid-19 pandemic. The kids are still happy and healthy, and making adjustments to staying at home.
