Happy 10th Birthday Superhero Barron

Today is Barron's Birthday and I woke up with a strange cold to interupt this magic special day. I love him so much so lucky we were up super late and I sang to him special wishes and thoughts. 

For birthday celebrations we always play this man's video: https://youtu.be/-GfNCBkRWLQ it has become a tradition of ours, we thank him every year in the comments.

I was inspired to create a nice picture scene for my true superhero from:

Barron wanted a dress suit, he used to wear his suite and tie and it was adorable.

our definition of bespoke is as follows:

The dictionary definition of bespoke is as follows:

bespoke (adj.): custom or custom-made, made to order of goods (as distinguished from ready made)


It represents over a century and a half of the finest tailoring that money can buy. A bespoke suit is synonymous with the highest possible quality, fit, and style.

A bespoke garment is one that has been crafted almost entirely by hand based on a pattern made exclusively for the customer by a skilled cutter. It requires a series of fittings and is always fully canvassed. Its aesthetic details (and, to an extent, overall fit) are subject to the customer’s preferences, and the only machine-work is done on long seams (such as trouser outseams) and facings.

you find yourself Googling “bespoke” you may also come across the word custom. While there are many similarities between bespoke and custom suits, there are also key differences.


Fabric-Bolts-And-ShearsBoth construction methods utilize an exclusive pattern for the client, and both methods allow for maximum personalization with regard to aesthetic details. Custom suits, however, don’t require as many fittings and don’t have the same rules around handwork. Whereas bespoke suits require hand-padded lapels and hand-sewn buttonholes, custom suits can do this work by machine.


As you might imagine, custom suits are therefore a bit less expensive than their bespoke counterparts. That said, they’re still high-quality garments made to last a lifetime, and as such they still command a high price.

Hawaii Wildfires

 On Tuesday August 7,  2023 some terrible wildfires in The island of Maui, especially the city of Lahaina has been under attack. We found these screenshot from this video, thanks to Hawaii News Now Station:  https://youtu.be/gR00sJKWvjI





We never got a chance to study Hawaii although we purchased a lovely resource from the talented and generous Vanessa at WildFeathersEdu Etsy Shop:https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1253135126/digital-hawaii-science-and-nature-four?click_key=ac89d3028a4d8e9a84d3c1e894712babd4bbb9bc%3A1253135126&click_sum=deb0c267&ga_search_query=hawaii&ref=shop_items_search_1&pro=1

This four week science and nature lesson plan had us discovering and learning about:

After learning about the importance of rainbows, from Vanessa's resource, to Hawaii we created some to heal the island of Kahului and share our spirit with them. We also tweeted a pic to the local news station mentioned above for their shared clips: 

The colours of a rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Barron selected the Blue Ginger for our hawaii flower examination: 

Often many think of the spirit of dance when they think of Hawaii:
