Inspired by reading the book "Mountain Born" for school.

Addy finishes books

I finished Homer Price. After that, we read Mr. Popper's Penguins. Now we're on Mountain Born.

I would recommend Homer Price to a kid who likes to read about adventures. I would recommend Mr. Popper's Penguins to a kid who likes to read about penguins.

Homer Price is a kid who is good at building TVs and saving people from robbers and finding out who other people are. My favorite chapter was about when Homer Price found some formula to making medicine.

Mr. Popper's Penguins was a book about Mr. Popper got a penguin sent to him in a little box with holes in it and then that penguin got kind of sick and he called someone who had another penguin and his was a little bit feeling sick, too, and they both wondered if it was because they had no one to play with, and then they had 10 eggs and then Mr. Popper and Mrs. Popper trained all those penguins to each do something special. The penguins performed lots of times.

I read classic literature to Addy as part of her Sonlight Core 1 curriculum. We study about two per month.

Addy and Dori raising money for Mission India

Mission India is way to raise money for Mission India. We collect money and put it in a little rice bag and send it to somewhere so it can be turned into India money. Women and girls in India can't go to school so we are putting our spare money into the bag to send to Mission India.

The top picture is us picking up tomatoes to raise money. Each tomato we picked up the more pennies Mama would give me for the bag.

This is us returning bottles for Mission India. We found these bottles at the farmhouse.

Go State!

Your interesting tidbit of the day, from Sue: I just learned that the founders and owners of Addy's curriculum company (Sarita and John Holzmann of Sonlight.com) are Spartans.

John and Sarita earned their undergraduate degrees (both with honors) at Michigan State University. Sarita earned a B.S. in Dietetics while John earned a B.A. in Philosophy. John went on to earn the M.Div. at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia.
