We were blessed today with sunshine after expecting storms! We may still get them later today, but we were able to enjoy the birds and the flowers all day so far!
I picked up "Nature's Garden" magazine, which is a special edition from Better Homes and Gardens. Apparently this is their second seasonal issue (summer issue). Inside is a do-it-yourself field guide for common backyard birds! I am going to cut it out, take it to be laminated and use these cards to help the kids recognize more birds. Gorgeous pictures and information about the birds is printed on the back.
Emme watched March_of_the_Penguins last night, as our animal for this week is, you guessed it, penguins! I also picked up Penguins_Frames_and_Toppers from the Scholastic 1 dollar sale. They are super cute! Emme and THE BOY love Penguins and I am certain I will find a lot of uses for the frames with their artwork.
I have the SchoolHouse_Rock DVD coming today. I hope Emme enjoys it as much as I did as a kid!
"Reminisce in bliss with all 46 vintage "Schoolhouse Rock" shorts, from the famed "Conjunction Junction" and "I'm Just a Bill" to all the other rockin' bits left in the recesses of your brain. These all-time faves are joined by a new song, "I'm Gonna Send Your Vote to College," performed by the creators of the original series. "
We have our last field trip of the official school year scheduled for June 11th or 12th. First we are going to the_Toledo_Museum_of_Art and after a morning of taking in the beautiful creations, we will stop at Crane_Creek in Toledo to go BIRDING! I am so excited you just don't know! I just found out about this place a few days ago from a friend whose sister is a big-time birder. Emme and I are just beginners, but I know we will have a great time!
Well, that is going to be my update for the day! It's time for me to get our tablework started. Em should have her phonics, printing, reading, and history books done by mid-June so we can call Term Three to a close!
Have a really blessed week with your family!
