Do you speak MY language?

Happy V Day! This may not be funny to anyone else, and it is as much my fault as it is the student's. Today we researched how to say "I love you" in various languages. Because I am a tiny bit OCD, I have a hard time letting the kids have total freedom when I am trying to do something like decorate my door. (I know you're laughing, Leah)
Their instructions were to write the phrase on the heart and write the language underneath. Then, they could decorate their hearts. I was specific to say DO NOT USE MUCH GLITTER GLUE! It doesn't dry quickly and I am putting them on the door today! Everyone followed instructions well . . . except for one. Isn't there always one?This looks like an angry, bleeding heart. I should have waited for it to dry, but I wanted to prove my point!

Hiram and Julia

Sunday morning, we went to Shiloh National Park to see Hiram and Julia the Bald Eagles! I don't think I have ever seen an Eagle this close before, and I'm not even really sure I've seen one at all! Hiram was guarding the nest as Julia was doing some housekeeping! You can't see her in the pictures, but we kept seeing her flop around in there! Really cool!

I just liked this picture of the flag :)
