Summer is here

Yes. Summer is here. Shown by the fact we're finished with school (Kindergarten for Ian). Also shown by the rise in temperature. So what are we doing for summer besides lazing around?
*Lots of playground time and outdoor time. Time to practice cycling and scootering!
*Make home-made bubbles
*Water play in balcony
*Going to the library
*READING! (yeah! I'm trying to come up with a list of fun books to read together, besides finishing up a few of Little House on the Prairie series)
*Drawing
*Making some crafts MAYBE (at least for the girls)
*Butterfly farm!! (yeah! They are arriving end June)
*Church Retreat
*Visit to New Hampshire, a friend's place
*Maybe visit to the city when daddy has half day Fridays off

For mommy, I have my own plans too
*Read and prepare for MFW 1st grade
*Research and plan for Exploration Days
*Research on Character Building/Bible materials
*Research and make preschooler busy bags
*Spring cleaning (almost done)

    By the way, where did you find your days of school worksheet with the hundereds, tens, and ones places? Love it! I might use it for MFW 1st next year if you know where you got it. Thanks!

Online Resources: Sesame Street Games

I love the Sesame Street Games ...I think they are the best for preschoolers. They teach important concepts, at the same time, making computer skills real easy. For eg, there is no "click and drag"...that's hard for them...there's "click" "move" "click". There are some games Ian really likes...(click on photo for the games) That's the Wheels on the Bus song (you press the keys foe interactive movements) Patterns. Seasons. Fun for the kids. Walking the dogs...numbers. This is alltime favorite. First you make a pitcher of lemonade. Then depending on how many monsters come, you click however many cups. I love it!

Science 2015/2016: Human Body Recap

We really had fun learning about the Human Body this year. I thought it would be meaningful to consolidate our learning. We enjoyed the Body Book more than I thought we would. I did do most of the cutting though. We also enjoyed the different videos we watched and the experiments. I think this is the most successful science year yet. The five senses Tongue the Ear The Skin The Eye Skeleton Joints Long Bone Tooth Brains Spinal Cord Digestive System Stomach The Lungs The Heart The Urinary System The Muscle Look through all our experiments and videos here .
