Project: Dining Room Light

It’s time for the dining room to have some light.

This room has been in need of light since we purchased the house 8 years ago. We’ve lived with it but now it’s time for an upgrade!

2 new recessed lights and a relocation with a new fixture.

The location of the old hanging lamp in the dining room was so far off. The table would’ve been positioned right next to the sliding glass door. Very poor design but it’s fix now! No one will know but us.

The hanging light will be replaced with the light from our classroom (formal dining area).

The new hanging light is now centered in the room or where the center should be.

Canister’s are going in and we’ll have 2 new lights soon.
Tomorrow we’ll get the new (old) light hung.

In the other room, Isabel is practicing her piano while the new lights are going in.

Third Grade: Day 130

It’s Friday!

We have had another busy week and next week is going to be busy as well, with it only being a 4 day week before Easter break the following week!

We are looking forward to this break. It’s our final big break before the final weeks of school. We’ll have 10 weeks of school left after Easter break! Exciting times but we still have a way to go before then, so we’ll take it day by day and week by week until we are through.

In the classroom:

As something different for the day, I laid out all Isabel’s assignment’s for the day on her desk and had her choose what order we would do them in. She chose wisely and we ended our day reading 2 books before class ended.
