Mapmaking and Cookie Baking

This week's virtual learning assignments included . . .


. . . a BrainPop video about poetry . . .


. . . measuring stuff for math . . .


. . . and mapmaking.  I'm not sure why Todd felt that a map of our entire state . . .


. . . would help him make a map of our neighborhood, but it turned out OK in the end.  He even included the "Apple People" with the sour apple tree at the end of our street.  I suspect that Joy acted as Todd's cartographic consultant at some point, because only a teenager would think to call our next-door neighbors "Frisbee Peeps" (since we got our Frisbee stuck in their tree).


Speaking of Joy, she drew some nice illustrations for her Latin homework.  I'm not sure why she included a Christmas tree, though.


Maybe it was inspired by her epic, holiday-themed skateboard design for art class.


After schoolwork was done yesterday, the kids made some Pillowy Sugar cookies.  Joy and Anna mixed the dough, then Anna and Todd cut out the cookies.  They're a bit of work, but so yummy!
