Saturday Surfing

Finds of the week:

  • Cellphone Use May Be A Cancer Risk After All, All Things Considered — not the best news for those of us with ONLY cellphones…
  • Don’t Have a Cow!, It’s Not About Nutrition — Why kids don’t need as much milk as we might think
  • Learning to Sense Space: Why Kids May Fall Out of Bed, Moving Smart —  A great article about how kids learn to sense space and how their bodies fit in it.  Also has tips for facilitating spatial development.
  • Rethink the Food Label contest, a project of Utne reader, sponsored by Good magazine and the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism’s News21 program.  Anyone can enter.  Just think of some way that would make the label more useful.
  • With no labeling, few realize they are eating genetically modified foods, LA Times  —  Maybe this should be added to the food label contest submissions?

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
