Snapshot Sunday

Winter can suck it.  But, here is Three's snow angel. 

One and Two spent the snow days looking at old journals and notebooks and laughing A LOT.  (They both had all sorts of notebooks and journals that they wrote/drew in from the time they were 8 until they were probably 12....I kept them all and they dug them out of the attic.)

And, coloring.  

"No, no...it's ok mom, I'll just lay right here."

Short vowel word sort.

Testing for Yellow Belt.

This is what happens when I say "go do something else while your brother reads to me."  I clearly mean "wrap yourself in the blanket and lie on the floor 2 ft from me."

The sloth at our science museum was very active when we were there this week!

After co-op we went to the park, rode the merry-go-round and the train.

This picture is from a hike we did in January but the friend that took it just sent it to me, and I had to share.  This kid and his dimples.  <3 p="">

Two for Tuesday

www.education.com is a site I just recently have been exploring.  As a "basic" member you can print off 10 free worksheets a month, not a bad deal.

For science this month we are focusing on winter/snow/ice/glaciers, here is some info:

Snow Days!

We've had more snow this winter than we've had for many winters. We had several days two weeks ago where we were snowed in. Three was the most excited to have snow, he's been really wanting it for months now (yes, even before winter was here he wanted snow!)  However, after two days of it on the ground he was done. He asked "Will the snow be there tomorrow?"  I answered "Yes, but it should start to melt tomorrow. "  He then said "How long til summer?"

He'd rather swim, apparently. 

He isn't at all excited about our current storm. It's old news now, this snow stuff. It's just annoying. It cancels our activities, we can't get out of the house, it's really cramping our style. 

We aren't opting out of school because of the weather, if anything we're doing MORE because we're trapped inside.  We're looking at snowflakes and how they are ALL different. We're discussing the three states of matter (two of which are visible from my back porch!) and we're making valentines-yeah, I hadn't gotten around to that yet...thanks snow!

I hope whenever you are you are warm and dry and safe, and making the best of the weather you are experiencing!
