Wondrous Wednesday: 8 Minutes of Pure Beauty and Wonder

Watching this amazing, beautiful video had me tearing up and saying, “Wow!” all the way through. I couldn’t help but think of all of our children that think differently than I do: Thank God for His creativity in making people who can imagine and create such works of beauty!!  Take an 8 minute break from school to gather up your children and show them this amazing, astounding work of creative genius and art.  You won’t regret it.

 

Ever Seen a Crowd-Surfing Cellist Before?

What happens when you combine two cellos, the William Tell Overture, a sense of humor, and rock-n-roll?  This!

And hey–have you ever gotten to se an electric cello before?  (or a crowd-surfing cellist?!)  So cool!

**If you don’t rock-n-roll at your house, this one might not be for you.  Preview or skip if you’re unsure.

Almost All US Presidents Were Related to King John of England

This is so interesting!  This young girl started out doing a project about her own family tree, and discovered that she’s a distant cousin of President Obama!  She also found that almost all of the U.S. Presidents are related to England’s King John, who signed the Magna Carta!

I just love it that she got so into her research that she put in the effort to do this epic project!  That’s real learning right there:  A spark that leads to a fire!  Very cool and inspirational.
