Shark Week Activities – Day 4

And so sadly another week comes to an end. Sharks really was everything we could have hoped for from a learning theme. We already had a ton of books about them, Youtube gave me multiple options for informational videos that made the kids giggle, and gave me time to make a coffee, brush my hair,Continue reading “Shark Week Activities – Day 4”

Racing Paper Worms

And now for something completely different! A few weeks ago, when this whole pandemic/lockdown pitch became a real long term possibility, I got online and grabbed a whole ton of links to resources I thought I may eventually want to try out. Today we attempted one of them: making and racing paper worms. What makesContinue reading “Racing Paper Worms”

Famous Artists – Day 2

It’s not even worth pretending I was not feeling mighty smug about how much we had all enjoyed looking at ‘Starry Night’ by Van Gogh yesterday.

Shark Week Activities – Day 2

They’ve been played with repeatedly, and Im proud to announce the google-y eyes have all held up. Thanks a bunch Elmer’s glue. I was skeptical. I just wanted to addContinue reading “Shark Week Activities – Day 2”

Shark Week Activities – Day 1

This week our focus for school work is everything “shark”. The boys are heavily into sharks and megladons at the moment, so I promised them a week of jolly jaws. Luckily it’s a very popular theme, and I found a million resources online, unlike that time last month when my 5 year old asked forContinue reading “Shark Week Activities – Day 1”
