Line Time: We spent the majority of line time practicing for the Christmas Show. It was a rockin time! But I could not find the eggnog, or cookies for Santa. Oh wait…. Score !!!!!!!!
Speaking Of Eggnog (which I love by the way): While culinary historians debate its exact lineage, most agree eggnog originated from the early medieval British drink called posset, which was made with hot milk that was curdled with wine or ale and flavored with spices. In the Middle Ages, posset was used as a cold and flu remedy. Now I want to try posset even if it looks like it is a gelatnis solid.

What’s The Diff? What is the difference between bologna and baloney?
Bologna is the name of a city in Italy, pronounced “boh-LOAN-ya.” But although the sausage named after the city in English is spelled the same, it is pronounced “buh-LOAN-ee” and is often spelled baloney. Either spelling is acceptable for the sliced meat product. P.S. I love fried bologna/baloney!!!

Line Time: This week we talked about pilgrims and how they came to the New World on the ship called the Mayflower. It was a long journey and when they finally got there they had to hunt for their food and build their own shelter. The children were surprised that there was not a Target to get blankets, Giant Eagle to get food, Home Depot to get building materials. We learned that the first Thanksgiving probably didn’t have turkey but instead had pheasant, eel, and fish. As a side note (didn’t discuss in class) there was no Black Friday.
November Birthday: A Montessori classroom is comprised of children ages 3 years of age to 6 years of age. Here is our newest four year old.
What’s The Diff?: What is the difference between seeing a concert and seeing a show? I am thinking when you use the term “show” it is a small, intimate venue with about 200 of your closest friends (Musica, Peobody’s Down Under). A concert most likely will be held in a venue about 2,000+ people (Blossom, The Q). As you can tell I like “shows”. Some pics as I was leaning onto the stage of the last two “shows” I attended. lol. One last thing are you seeing a group or a band?
