Today I gave the children the "thinking questions" that Amy and Perry left for them regarding their houses of the future project. I've listed the questions in black, with some of my favorite answers in red. As usual, these kids made me laugh, sigh, and be amazed.

That was so much fun to read. Some of the answers were brilliant while others had me laughing out loud. You have such a great group of children.
