Knights Becoming and a Lady in Waiting

Contest Reminder!

2:45 AM, Aug. 29, 2006 .. 1 comments .. Link

This is just a quick reminder that there is a contest going on here.   Okay, admittedly, it's a silly contest, but it's a contest nonetheless.  You can add your comments to that post or here... or even post on your own blog about.  After all, there's a whole lot to blog about baby names, nuts, family stuff. 

 

I'm hoping to get a meatier post out soon and I'm still working on Anger Anonymous, but I'm currently working through Step Eight (and a little of Step Nine) with a lot of prayer, so it'll be a bit longer before I post on that.

 

Off to read, comment, and get back to bed. :)




Bean Bags

7:35 AM, Aug. 29, 2006 .. Posted by Juliestew
I used the bean bags for math. I'd throw them an 8 and a 9 and say what is 8 +9=
Then since my second grader is struggling with subtraction I'd roll him 6 balls and tell him to give 2 to his brother....How many do you have left. So, 6-2=4. It helps to have something physical to relate to. We also put several balls together and talked about the numerical placement of a 2 and a 5 being 25. then adding a ball and getting 256 because the six is in the "ones" place. We did stuff like that. My son also used them to do his math (subtraction) too yesterday by just counting balls.

You can also just use them for games like Toss or with all those boys see how hard they have to throw them outside to get them to burst! (I think my boys would like that best hee hee)

Anyway, good luck getting crafty.
