Travel Sketch MaterielsI asked my six year-old son what city in the world he might like to visit this week and a lively conversation ensued.  He enthusiastically chose Jerusalem, which surprised me as I have never heard him mention the city, and delighted me with the suggestion that we look up their currency and train tickets on the web.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have decided to celebrate the magic of snow (and lack of the white stuff in the northeast) by hosting a Snow Party - complete with stories, crafts, science experiments and snacks. Followed by a trip outdoors in real snow if the temperatures drop and the rain changes to snow.

Read "Snowflake Bentley" (Caldecott Medal Book) by Jacqueline Briggs, illustrated by Martin Mary Azarian. This is the true story of Wilson Bentley, a farmer born in 1865 in Jericho, Vermont, a small town between Lake Champlain and Mount Mansfield. The story shows Bentley’s fascination, determination, and success in learning how to photograph snowflakes after his mother gave him a microscope when he was fifteen. Beautiful, bold woodcut illustrations.]]></description>

Today she writes about children's yoga:

This morning my son stopped me as I ran down the stairs. I was frantically getting everything ready for the morning commute to school, “pay the toll mom” he said, smiling.

For my part, I stopped on the stairs and took three deep belly breaths. He said, “good job mom” and let me by. This game, Pay the Toll comes from our yoga experiences together.]]></description>
