What's in the News?

It's another day with the granddaughters today, and my-oh-my, it's hot!  Grandfather will take the girls swimming for an hour or so first thing this morning before it gets too hot.  Grandmother, meanwhile, will fixing a light lunch with plenty of fruits and vegetables that will be ready for everyone once the swimmers return.  After the girls take a bath (maybe a bubble bath today!), we'll eat lunch, have a short video game time, and then we'll convene Grandmother's School.

Since it is SO hot, a nice indoor activity seems to be a good idea, so we'll work on literacy and creativity today.  The girls will be given construction paper, scissors, glue, and a stack of newspapers. (You DO subscribe to your local paper, don't you???)  Below you will find ten "task" cards.  Each girl must complete any five of the cards.  After finishing the five tasks, which will yield at least 5 pages, we will make a cover for the book and staple it together.  I hope they enjoy doing this!
