First a question ........... When you read my blog, is it on a solid background, or is it messing up and are you scrunching up your eyes trying to read this between wild flowers?  Thanks! 

Secondly......  We had a super full day today.  We're studying dolphins as our animal of the week.  We read three stories about them today, we have the IMAX video coming about them, and I found lots of great print outs from the web too from www.enchantedlearning.com.

On my other_blog I have started to list the links!  There are a lot more to come.  It's just very time-consuming.  I also have an email in progress in the drafting stage to you SoCalVal!  I will get those links to you for use on your website! 

The weather was just gorgeous today!  We went on an impromptu nature walk through out field in search for bunnies and Woody, the downy woodpecker.  We were able to find him and he gave us another show!  I got a few pictures but they are pretty grainy.  I need a new camera!  We also saw several Admiral butterflies, who are SO social!  They kept landing on me and Emme just thought that was so great!

We did so much gardening today as well.  Lots of new flowers planted, as well as 2 butterfly bushes and a lilac bush.  I can't wait until one day when they are full grown!  It will be awesome!

Tomorrow is supposed to be another wonderful day and I plan on taking Emme for a short hike in the woods.  I printed out this really cute Spring Watch booklet from Nature_Detectives that gives you things to keep an eye out for while you are in the woods.  They have other great printouts at that site too!

Well, I better get to bed!  I hope you are all finishing up your school year and enjoying this wonderful, warm, sunny weather!  We will be done with our official school year on June 14th, along with Jennah and Jacob.  We'll start "Summer Term" on June 18th and run through the end of July.  I think August will be completely off -- we'll see how that goes.

Handwriting book, reading, and Explode the Code books will be completed by the end of next week!  Not even close with our math book.  I've been doing a lot of addition practice worksheets because I want to make sure she has it down before moving on to something else.  Next couple of weeks we will just practice subtraction -- then we'll move on.

As I said, I better get some sleep!  Another big day tomorrow of gardening, school and church.
