May 18, 2009 - Fun Grammar

Some of you, like me, probably downloaded many of the free Mother's Day gifts from CurClick. I really liked the Silly Snail grammar game, but it only covered a few parts of speech. I suggested that Sprite make her own board game about the parts of speech. And here it is!

The game involves answering questions in the quiz books and pulling cards from the Grammar Chest. We had a great time playing it, and it was a fantastic overall review of the parts of speech.

Making a board game and playing it is a great hands-on way to show what you've learned. Try it!

May 18, 2009 - Hydrogen and the Hindenberg

hindenberg model and hydrogen book

In our Chemistry study, we were studying hydrogen and came across the story of the Hindenburg. So we did the Disaster Diorama of the Hindenberg! (Not an easy model, BTW.)

Then Sprite added hydrogen and all of the noble gases to a large periodic table that we're making. I'll blog more on that later.

May 17, 2009 - Mother's Day Gift

My sweet Sprite make me some adorable slippers. Because my feet are big (9 1/2), I usually have to wear boring navy blue or brown slippers -- the men's colors. But we happened to find a larger size of PINK! Woo hoo! I get pretty slippers this year!

It's LUV from Mom and LUM to MOM, Sprite explained.

In China, usually people wear slippers (like these) inside and regular shoes outside. Of course, you'd never wear your outside shoes in the house!
