A Nuclear Weapon Activity

 Treat:  Scoop of ice cream leftover from Mother's Day celebrations

Lesson:  On family goal-setting

We read the story "All the Way to Chicago" and I got choked up in the first paragraph knowing how hard the little boy works to help his sister.  Mom, I'm totally turning into you.

Activity:  Sculpting activity with modeling clay and playdough

J begged to be in charge of the activity because he's wanted to pull out the modeling clay for a week or so.

While A and E sweetly rolled their dough into balls and flattened them into pancakes, J informed us that he was creating a model of a nuclear weapon. Typical.
