1st day of school~ 2011

Last week was our first week of school for the year. We are doing Kindergarten and Pre-school.

Here is a peek into our day.

A lot of our school involves reading.

There is some great historical fiction for young children you just have to be willing to search for it!

After reading about Galileo’s experiment, we decided to try it for ourselves.

First you drop a rock and a flat piece of paper then you crumple the piece of paper up into a ball and drop them both again.

The crumpled paper falls faster then the flat paper.

In case you are wondering. Yes, my boys did hate dropping things.

Worst experiment ever for boys.

You can tell by looking at their faces how bored they were…

My husband had the day off so he did math with the boys.

We are using RightStart curriculum for math and the boys seem to really enjoy it.

I like how hands on it is.

I should have had Nick take pictures while I was reading to the boys but I did not think about it until later.

I seem to do that a lot…

My days are changing with this new challenge but I am really enjoying sharing my love of learning with my two little men.

Great ideas after the fact count, right?

Forgotten but loved

Have you ever started looking through all of those digital picture files on your computer only to find some you forgot about and had done nothing with?

I found this one with a batch of other pictures that I did edit but somehow all of these shots of the boys dressed up like Cheetah’s and jumping off the retaining wall were not edited.

I had edited one picture of them and then left the rest for later!

Little did I know it would be over three months later…

Better late then never?

I am glad I took a second look because I love those soft, floppy ears and I love the fact this picture screams childhood to me.

Maybe it is time for you to give some of your old pictures a second look.
