She did a longer report about her day, but the video upload failed. Dilara doesn't often come home with so many wonderful things to share with me. At art class, the teacher showed a real (dead) starfish, and some real (dead) coral and a real (dead) pufferfish/blowfish. They were talking about patterns. Dilara loves patterns and all kinds of nature study. We have quite a collection of items at home, includfing shells, a starfish, rocks, feathers, etc. And the Nature Center at Edwin Warner Parks has a HUGE array of such things, and even has microscopes! We haven't got a working microscope at the moment in our homeschool. I have one, but the bulb has burned out and I don't know how to get another one the right size. I think that particular model has been discontinued.
Dilara got to be line leader and got some special recognition for being the birthday girl. I took cupcakes and goody bags for her classmates at lunchtime and they all enthusiastically sang "Happy Birthday" to Dilara. I think it was the best school day ever. Dilara's dad said he couldn't come, but he paid for the cupcakes and goody bags (about $30). I need to make a strawberry cake and put her musical "Magical Birthday Candle" in it when we have a birthday party with family....hopefully tomorrow. It is hard to get everyone's schedules together during the school year.
Every year is the "best birthday ever!" I thought her birthdays were better when her father chose to spend them with us, as family, and her second birthday when she got to spend it with her father's sister, and her family as well as me and my brother and m I love this little girl and her attitude!---Lydia
