September 11, 2006: What We're Doing Today

We visited Quia.com through another link, and A.J. took a 25-question quiz on Spanish numbers. It's been a while since we worked on Spanish, but he remembered 1-10 very easily. I helped out a little with 20-100, and it was a good review. We got them all!

A.J. and I, continuing our study of the oceans, made a coral reef last week out of posterboard and construction paper. Some of the things we included: coral, sharks, fish, a fish "bed," a clownfish, a sea anemone, a starfish, an eel, and a sea turtle.

A.J. told me he's also going to make a minibook this afternoon using Storybook Weaver. This one will be about Baleen Whales. He's already made one about Sharks and one about Dolphins within the last few weeks.

I've been wanting to do some minibooks with the girls. I just bought a new thing with a bunch of samples and pages. I love that they can decorate the cover and have fun with it. I can't believe AJ remembered the Spanish numbers...wow! He's going to have to teach ME some Spanish. lol Thanks for sharing!!
