One of my goals for this year is to keep my brain active and try to learn something every day.  This month I am trying to form a habit of sitting down with the kids while they are doing school work and learning with them.  I decided to build my own "world" notebook just like they have.  Today I made my first page.  We are studying Russia and part of our unit is to learn about bears.  So, I made a "fast facts" page about bears.  I think it turned out pretty cute.  It made me excited to do more and build my notebook.  I also think this will help the kids to enjoy it as well, as they see how easy and fun it can be.
