Numbers Words

2nd grade continues to do very well in math and because we have not shared much of his work lately, we decided to show how well he is doing in writing and reading number words.

Library Day

We went to the library today and our wonderful librarian told us that is was Christmas story and craft day, but that no one had registered for the class. I guess it did not make it to the website. So we went in and she read 4 great stories: 2 about the gingerbread baby, 1 that told about the 12 days of Christmas and a neat little book called: "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" By John Rox and Bruce Whatley. I had never heard that one before and I am sure that I enjoyed it more than the kids did!

The craft was a chance to make our own gingerbread man ornaments. They smelled delicious!

Fun fun!

After School Activities

Why is it that my homeschooled kids can't wait till the end of school time and then get up and go in the other room and play "school"?!?!?

Presidential Studies

2nd grade is studying past Presidents and when he drew this picture, I just had to share.

Now We Have Teeth...

In science class, Pre-K is studying cells. We are using the book, Sam's Science: I Know How My Cells Make Me Grow and today Pre-K was drawing a picture of the characters from the book. Remember when I was so excited that we had 5 fingers with my then first grader? Well I am now proud to announce that with Pre-K, people have teeth!

Choices...

Yesterday (Saturday) 6th grade had her very first recital with the other students from the studio where she is taking voice lessons. It was wonderful! Before we left, as I was getting everyone dressed we had a small wardrobe malfunction which put us a little behind on time, so as we were walking out the door, there was just a bit of frantic grabbing of last minute items. I reached for what I though was a pack of gum to throw in my pocket:

But what I grabbed was this:

Which I did not find out about until we were sitting in the auditorium waiting for the performance.

Not the way to get fresh minty breath! LOL!

This morning as we were heading out for church, I told the kids to grab money for the offering plate to stick in their pockets/purse. Later, as the plate was being passed around, James pulls this out of his pocket:

He could not understand why he could not spend this Bahamian dollar here in the States.

Just before I wrote this post, the phone rang and I picked up the t.v. remote.... I think we've had too much vacation. ROFL!
