Good morning Norah and Hazel.

Now we have all had a day off from Grandma School.  

I took a day off yesterday.

Hazel, I loved your funny video.  Good job.

Norah, I was glad you were having fun at Adventure Academy.

Today we are visiting NASA.

We are going to learn about water on earth.

I thought this picture was appropriate since you had such fun in the water at the farm.

Hazel, did you notice that I changed your links to pictures?

Just click on the picture and it will take you to your destination

Today's question is, what is your favorite way to use water?

Have a good day ladies.

Love,

Grandma

Good morning Norah and Hazel.

I hope you had a good day yesterday.

I thought it would be fun to tell a story today.

Imagine that you were writing a story and part of your storyline went like this:

Your mom and dad called to you, "Come quickly, there is something in the backyard!"

What would you see in the backyard?  

Tell us your story.

Norah and Hazel, I copied your links over from yesterday.

I wasn't sure you had a chance to use them.

Have a good day.

Love,

Grandma

Good morning, ladies.

It is one o'clock in the morning. Again!

I am still smiling as I think of all the fun things we did while you visited.

I hope you had as much fun as we did.

The question today is more of a request.

Tell us all about your newly renovated bedrooms.

Mom worked so hard to make that happen for you.

What a wonderful surprise.

I included the link to Grandpa's video you enjoyed so much.

Have fun today in all your learning activities.

Love,

Grandma

Good morning, ladies.

It is one o'clock in the morning. Yikes!

I am still finishing up a few things for your arrival.

The garage is ready.

Your bedroom is ready.

I have food.

I made a list on the chalkboard in the garage with some things we can do.

Today's picture might give you a hint.

You may notice that your links today are similar to a day last week.

A review is good and you will each find at least one new thing.

Grandma ran out of time!

So the question today isn't really a question at all.

It is more of an opinion.

Tell me one or two things you would like to do when you get here. 

See you Thursday.

Grandma

Howdy, Norah, and Hazel.

I am guessing that you had a wonderful weekend.

Now you have your own playground!

Here is the question for today.

What would you do if you made the rules at home?

Enjoy the links for today and enjoy playing in your backyard!

Hey girls.  Are you ready to drive a car now?  

I think you had wonderful ideas.  

Did anyone see that Grandpa responded yesterday?

He needs to smile more, don't you think?

So, the question today is:  If you were a chef at a restaurant what food would you serve?

It will be fun to hear about your yummy main dishes and desserts. 

Don't forget your vegetables!

How is the Ickabog, Norah?  

Hazel, are enjoying designing your selfies.

Love,

Grandma

Good morning, Norah.  Good morning, Hazel.  

How can it be Wednesday already?

Tuesday was a fun day for grandma.

I got to go pick up groceries. I watched your amazing videos about mom.

I bought two rose bushes and we had guests over for supper.

We ate outside and it was so nice!

I am guessing you girls cooked up something fun to do yesterday as well.

The question today is what do your think is the hardest part of driving a car?

Which part would you be good at?

Tell us all about it.

Have a good day and I can't wait to see your videos.

Grandma

Good morning Norah and Hazel.  

What a hot day we had in South Dakota.

It was 97 degrees.

Grandma melted. I wish you were here.

We could have filled the pool and had fun.

I bet you had a good time playing in the house and outside.

The question today is what do you like best about your mommy.

She has many wonderful qualities.  I like her sense of humor.  She makes me laugh.

Have a good day and I can't wait to see your videos.

Good morning girls.  

We have lots of fun things planned today.  

First, we will post to Flipgrid.  

Today you will make up a riddle.  Use one or two clues.

My riddle is:  I have to be broken before you can use me.  What am I?

You can also give clues.  I am oval and have a yellow ball inside.  What am I?

Don't forget to check out the project of the day.  The picture shows pipe cleaner dancers.  They use a pipe cleaner and a napkin.  You can color the napkins with markers to make designs on the dresses.  Aren't they graceful?

Have a good day.

Love, Grandma
