It's been a momentous few weeks in Cora's life - for the first time, she owns her own video gaming system.
She had enough money saved up to purchase a PlayStation 4 system, and she now can play Minecraft and Fortnite and Star Wars Battlefront. With the online capability and a headset from Sophia, she can play with her friends. It's a big deal for Cora, and she's really excited about it. It took all of Cora's long-term savings, which she's been collecting from her chore money since she was four. Stace and I helped a little, because the PS4 can play Blu Rays and DVDs and we haven't had a Blu Ray player. We're proud of Cora!
But though Cora does love her new gaming system, she is still a reader at heart. We stopped by the library this week, and Cora has been a happier camper with her big stack of books.
Violet formed an art club a few weeks ago with some of her classmates. They get together Wednesdays after school, while Cora is at GATE Musical rehearsal.
This week, Colleen had a meeting she had to attend, and Lucas and Liana had a minimum day at their school. They played at our house, and then Liana got to participate in art club, too, for a bit.
On Friday, the second graders took part in a marketplace, where each one brought in something handmade to sell. The goal was to learn about creating and marketing a product.
It was great to watch and listen to the 7-and 8-year-olds advertising and selling their homemade magnets, bookmarks, bracelets and slime. Violet created keychains from clay "Bricks, Blocks and Beads" she made. The Lego shaped ones proved very popular.
Camryn bought a keychain, and Violet bought one of Cam's bookmarks. All the money raised went to charity; items were all priced at less than $1.
