Literature Group
On Thursday, we finished up our last book in our literature discussion group this year. It actually was a play - A Midsummer's Night Dream. The children liked it very much and thought the characters of Bottom and Puck were funny. One boy liked Helena the most because she was the most pathetic.

Do you have two different literature groups, a schooly/kids one and a family/everyone one? Or are they the same thing?
It looks like fun, and a great way to really get to all those good books ...
Yes, we have two different groups. One is school/kids books where most of the books also relate to the historical time that we are studying.
The second is family oriented depending on the subject. That group consists of people in our church.
How did they make that cake???
The Globe itself was a cut-out cardboard thing that the family had from one of those Shakespeare Discovery Kits you can buy.
So the cake itself is a sheet cake and then they frosted it different colors for the water and land and made boats out of tootsie rolls and put candy rocks on the paths.
Midsummer is a funny play - you cut out all the content with Titania and Oberon, i assume? Puck's my fave- i played him in our school play...

no we didn't. We read an edited version that had the old English and the modern English side by side and then we listened to the whole thing on CD.
We then compared how Shakespeare treats love versus how the Bible treats love.
