The homeschool group in Virginia has classes every Tuesday - first is History, then we have a lunch break, second class is Film making, and third is Sign Language class.

our teachers - ginger and julie,
demonstrating how 'sumo' is done |
History class is usually pretty fun! We read a few chapters out of our history book, and then our Teacher Julie quizzes us about it. Afterwards we do a craft or play a game related to what we just learned. This week in particular we learned about Samuri, so it was only natural to have our own sumo match! We learned all about the process the sumo will go through, how they have to drink water to purify themselves, and so on.
Film Making class was broke into two groups. Group A wrote and filmed a Wizard of Odd movie, based of the wizard of oz. Group B wrote and filmed a zombie movie. Each group got to work hands-on with deciding on props, special effects, editing the movie and even picking out the soundtrack. I ended up being on the Zombie making team!

Sign Language is a class I have mentioned before
here.
Today for Sumo wresting we all brought pillows and just strapped on to our fronts and the other to our backs :) It was a lot of fun and it was nice to see all of the kids learning and even enjoying themselves!

Granted I might be a little old of trick-or-treating, I still like dressing up! Unfortunately my costume this year was neither exciting nor interesting, we didn't have any money to spend on costumes so I had to use what was already on hand:
So I have never dyed all of my hair before. One time I dyed some of it blue, another time it was pink, more recently it was vampire red. But those were just streaks in my hair that washed out eventually. I've never before used a permanent dye but I've really wanted a change, and this just seemed like the right kind of change I was looking for.
Everyone comes dressed in costume!
