Blog 411

This blog was created for our friends and family who don't get to see us -- well, Jonathan and Elise, really -- as often as they'd like. I'm trying to keep you all updated on their milestones and their day-to-day activities. I also hope this will serve as sort of a journal for them as well, something for them to read when they are older that chronologues their lives and adventures. When I can, I'll post pictures and maybe even videos to help bridge the distance.

This blog is Part 2 of the Life of the Hardwicks. This edition will focus on our new lives in Atlanta, GA, that began in July 2013.

2014_09_08 Monday

From Elise's school: Today we talked about construction and safety signs. We talked about bulldozers and I read the book B is for Bulldozer. We talked about different building materials that people have used over the years such as stone, bricks, wood, concrete. We talked about how glass and concrete are made by mixing materials and either adding water or heating up till it gets hard. We then made a structure out of popsicle sticks for art. They had Mandarin today. They also built a construction site in the classroom with cones and tools and boxes. 

Why is it important to look at signs on the road/street? or what is something you learned today?
Elise- I learned about a bicycle sign. it was yellow. that means you can cross on your bike. 

As for Jonathan, I nearly had a coronary when I saw the amount of homework for this week. Based on the past few weeks (and certainly last year), I was blown over. We easily spent 2 hrs doing math, spelling, and English work...and then there's extra credit that sure looks way above a 2nd grade level to me. yikes.
