We are going to learn about Maple Syrup. I won a Maple Syrup Making DVD and we are going to spend a couple days learning about maple syrup and how it was originally created (using parts of this really cool lesson plan).
The girls and I are going to do Five in a Row this week. Our story will be Katy and the Big Snow.
Each day the kids will be assigned a specific website to play on. We are going to start rotating all the wonderful sites that we have available to us.
I also took a little time today to put together an alphabet box. A friend gave me this cute little box with all the drawers and all lettered already. So today I went through their little toys and printed/laminated some pics to add to the drawers. Here's our finished drawers. I'll leave these out to play in this week during my one-on-one times with other kids.
I love that alphabet box idea, how cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks Holly. I'm pretty excited about it. The trouble is that I am always more excited than they are with neat stuff like this. But we'll wait and see.
DeleteThat is so cool, I want one. I read on in the Book "greatest homeschool ideas" how a woman sewed back pockets from old jeans onto a bath towel then added letters to it. She would only put in 1 item for each letter and change them each weeek. She said her kids love monday morning to see what was in side. I always wanted to make one but just never got around to it. I do love that idea as well my mind is going a mile a minute right now with all sorts of ideas and games you could do with that cool box!.... I'm jealous :)
