Freakish weather going on around here

The last few days have been so weird with weather here. We've been getting these sideways downpours that last a few minutes and then clear up. Today it has been overcast for a good part of the day. A few times the sun has come out but not for too long. Then the rain will start and you can't even see where it is coming from. It comes in sideways and collects in my window tracks and then fills up and spills out all over the floor. Aaaaaahhhhh.....the Caribbean!

Julian and I started a new unit on dinosaurs the other day. Holly helped us organize our stuff and told us how to simplify some things to get more out of less. It has been great. We are working on a diorama right now and we will also put together a book with all the stuff we have been learning. It is going better than with the boring old workbooks we had been using. We'll still use some of them but most of them will be pushed aside for now.
