Ice

Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt,

kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.

~ Albert Schweitzer

Elizabeth had to do a project in social studies. She chose to do it on Otzi the Iceman. We found the museum in Italy where Otzi is kept and did some research. Then we wrote an email the museum thanking them for the information and asking if they had anything additional they could send us.

Then we cited the museum's web site on the paper so that she doesn't get charged with plagiarism and academic misconduct.

Homework is fun.

Then Elizabeth said, "Remember how you took Maddie on a trip because she read Tom Sawyer in school? For my trip, I want to go to this museum in Italy."
