What we've done...

We've had lots of fun since our last blog...here are just a few of the things we've done.

We went to story time which was about music this time. The kids had so much fun playing instruments together!!!
We went to the monthly meeting and heard about Will Rogers and traded our Flat Stanley again. Maybe this time we can actually do something with it! :) One of my many goals...
We went to the Oklahoma's Largest Classroom day at the fair. We looked at and touched all the animals, checked out all the artwork in the kids building, played with everything that was able to be touched in the entire fair :), and just had an absolute blast with Nan and Pop! BabyGirl got a couple new t-shirts from Nan. (one says 'I'd rather be hanging with my Bubs' which is the truth!) We rode some awesome 'big girl' rides! There was too much fun to even fit into a blog!
We went to a fiesta at our local library on Saturday. We did lots of arts/crafts, heard a band play, had some food, and hit a pinata. Buddy Bookworm was there and BabyGirl got to dance with him to the music and was thrilled!!!!!!!!!! What fun!
This brings us to today.....
We did #15 in our number journal. We did some more fun Halloween decorations that are so cute! (cut, paste, color) We worked puzzles together and played on BrainPop. We found some fun and educational new games on www.pbskids.org. They had some fun new Curious Georges ones, and some dealing with animal habitats and geography. Speaking of geography...we did some geography puzzles and briefly talked about where Columbus sailed since that subject was deemed 'boring' at our house! :) BabyGirl sat down with all her paints and experimented with mixing colors. This produced some beautiful art work! We also plan on making cookies to take with us to a fun pumpkin hunt tomorrow. This will be our math integration for the day. BabyGirl is very good at picking out the correct measuring cup for the job! Also, gymnastics later for our 'P.E.' :) We took a break from our reading lesson yesterday since she decided she didn't want to do it. We'll see if she wants to resume today or not.
We're going to keep up just doing what she wants to do around here since we actually get so much learning done that way (as you can see). No worksheets unless she asks for them, no science or math unless she prompts it, etc. She always gets around to each subject anyway, and it's fun to see how they all come together in the end. I'm planning some 'field trips' to some everyday locations that should be interesting....I'll keep you posted :) I plan on integrating some new vocabulary words, songs, math, science, etc into each one. Nothing is quite so good as learning in disguise!
Now....chocolate chips...here we come!!!!!!!
