Saturday is flag day so today along with math, phonics & reading we colored a couple of pictures of the american flag. They are proudly decorating the front of my fridge. I came across this link of many things to do about flag day. I'm going to print a few of these off to use on Thurs. & Fri.

I have been searching for some good read aloud books for the children & saw one at the library called The Face on the Milk Carton. I sure hope this book gets better in chapter 3 because so far none of us are enjoying it. I thought I remember seeing a movie on this one a few years ago & that's what caught my attention. We'll give it a couple more chapters either tonight or in the morning & if it's not getting any better, back to the library it shall go!
Any good book suggestions out there? Something that would be for the whole family. My children's favorite book is Island of the Blue Dolphins. I think that's partly because we did some fun activities to go along with it. |

I remember seeing the movie, the Face on the Milk Carton. Kellie Martin played the missing girl. It was kinda sad, but I didn't agree with the Biblical reason in it.
I didn't get to see all of your blog, but some good books my kids have loved are The Little Pilgrim's Progress (which is a takeoff of the adult version - my kids loved it so much they drew the characters with sidewalk chalk in our driveway). I will be reading to them Peretti's Kids Series - not the teen but actually a little younger. They're not so scary and more adventure type of books. Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys books are also pretty good too. I hope I helped you even a little! God bless!
