Posted in FIAR book activities

Our next spring title was Miss Rumphius. We enjoyed this book, especially talking about making the world more beautiful.

Storytime was Swimmy by Leo Lionni, and a fishy craft that didn't quite float right in the tub, but which the kids loved anyway.

We were introduced to the "Eagle Cam" at http://chil.vcoe.org/eagle_cam.htm by a mom on the FIAR forums, and had fun watching that over the next few weeks. Once or twice we even saw the eaglets being fed!

Over the weekend we started our Script Frenzy project (www.scriptfrenzy.org for adults and http://ywp.scriptfrenzy.org for students), and made stepping stones with jewels (which later fell out) for our garden. There was enough in the kit for each one of us to make an individual stone. Not real impressed with the kit overall, though, so won't post the brand here.

Maddy started working hard on writing letters, and Ted and I had a big bedtime discussion on oxygen (and why we shouldn't wrap our heads in blankets to sleep!) ... went well with our plant parts lesson, at least. LOL.
