Create a slideshow

We are off....it's summer time! YEAH! This means hot hot weather, lazy days, and our summer themes are back. We started this year a little differently with a theme of "School". I know you are saying "WHAT? Didn't school just end?" Our kids are so little it's not really overwhelming to them. Also, I wanted to start a reading program with Vivi this summer and I thought this theme might help to make it more fun. So far we are on day 10 and she's doing great!! Here are a few pics and highlights. We tried to study different "subjects" each day so we hit math, letters/reading, geography, science, meteorology, and just general school info. Our math day we colored pics with number and practiced counting with Isaac and addition with Vivi and we also did some cooking which is an easy teacher of math=think measurements! Geography we took our cousin to the airport and looked at our US map and talked about where she's flying and where we are flying to for our uncle's wedding in the fall. On meteorology day we talked about weather and the kids got a treat of "Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs". We had some magnificent weather going on too-storms, tornadoes, etc. We prayed for the people in Joplin and talked about all that is going on in the world weather wise. On letters day we hit the library and got all kinds of books as well as worked on our word puzzles. On science day we took a trip to our Museum of science and played and studied all kinds of science experiments. In addition, Vivi helped me paint and create a "school" board with daily things we are discussing calendar, time, number counting, weather, money, and our theme. She and I had so much fun with this. We are off to a great start to summer! Check back in to see what else we study!
