My boys and I decided a little rain and sleet was not going to stop us from exploring!
I hope you are able to get out with your kids and have fun over the holidays!
Redbud is definitely a favorite hike of the boys and mine in Tulsa.
Making Grammar and Spelling Fun.
Sometimes learning facts about any subject gets BORING.
Although I really like our curriculum that we use for Grammar and spelling, it is still curriculum.
We need to change it up once in a while.
These books by Brian P. Cleary are so much fun!
The boys will read them over and over again!
We also watch a lot of “Schoolhouse Rock” on Disney’s youtube channel and Grammaropolis.
My boys could watch Grammaropolis’ video “Do you Qualify?” all day.
Veggie Tales has a really fun silly song about Homophones as well.
We really like Zip-It for spelling practice.
I give the boys a list of spelling words we are learning to choose from and they have to use one of those for their first word.
My youngest is really good at this game!
I like scrabble also.
What do you do to make learning fun?
Graham Cracker Houses ~Christmas Moments
I am still trying to capture Christmas Moments but I am northern girl and this Okie weather is messing with me.
I know some people love having warmer weather in December and hate being cold but I like snow.
I remember when I was little, we moved to a new house.
I must have already been upset about leaving friends and stuff but when it did not snow that Christmas I hated the new house.
I thought it must be snowing at our old house(a good hour west of the new one)…
My cat ran away, my friend was far away, and now no snow!
Ha!
I will try to pretend like it is snowing outside for my boys sake though.
This icing was like paste.
All over my hands.
I tried to convince them to make waffle cone Christmas trees this year but they were set on these guys.
The teddy bears are my favorite.
I even shared some of my M&M’s with them!
I told them they needed to wait to eat them until they showed their dad.
They were really excited when he got home…
They have improved quite a bit from the last time we made these!
