Wednesday - What's NOT for dinner?

I can't believe it's already Wednesday. This week has been flying by. I don't have a recipe for you today because we won't be home for dinner. My daughter and I and two of my very dear friends are headed to see "The Sound of Music" at The Fabulous Fox Theater. We will be going out to eat dinner at a restaurant I really like, Gordon Biersch, before the show. I have no clue what the boys will be eating tonight, but I'm sure it may be something amazing like Lucky Charms or Peanut Butter and Jelly!

I have loved the movie for a long time, and I'm excited to see the stage production. I'll give you a review tomorrow.

SQUILT lesson - August 23

Here is this week's SQUILT lesson. I'm still trying to figure out the best format for posting, so bear with me.

Franz Joseph Haydn
Symphony #94 "Surprise"

Click here to listen

I love today's piece by Haydn because of the story behind it. After your read the Wikipedia article, see if you can hear where the loudest (surprise) note is. Can your children hear it? Have them raise their hand when they hear it. The word for loud in music is forte. What instruments do they hear? This is an orchestra, but just strings and woodwinds. Have them color a picture of Haydn. This selection is a bit longer, so older students can fill out the SQUILT form and younger ones can color or draw a picture to illustrate what they hear. Why not keep some Haydn playing all day during your homeschool? The possibilities are endless!!
