The Week Ahead




Our summer break free-for-all is now over. No, we're not doing anything hard core. But, lazing around in our pjs doing absolutely nothing just doesn't work for me for long. Sure, we needed some of that these past couple of weeks because of all of the personal turmoil going on. But, it's time to at least have a goal for the days ahead.

I am going to incorporate the kids' Bible verse from Sunday School, Acts of Kindness challenges from church, Brynne's Keeper's Club activities, and TOS Crew reviews into our daily plans.

Here's a preview as to what we will be doing this week ...

Monday ~ Memorize 1 John 2:15. Make cards to send to grandma in the nursing home. Go to the library to sign up for the Summer Reading Program. Drop off recycling. Go to Hobby Lobby for some supplies needed for projects. Make Brynne's apron for Girls Club. Eli play IXL.

Tuesday ~ Memorize 1 John 2:15. Brynne write letters of appreciation to three adults. Practice memorizing our address. Go to a local park/splash pad with Co-op. Go to Girls and Boys Club. Eli play IXL.

Wednesday ~ Memorize 1 John 2:15. Brynne write a personal letter to a friend. Practice memorizing our address. Go to the water park. Eli play IXL.

Thursday ~ Memorize 1 John 2:15. Brynne write a personal letter to a friend. Practice memorizing our address. Read a book. Play Rainbow Sentences.

Friday ~ Memorize 1 John 2:15. Brynne write a personal letter to a friend. Practice memorizing our address. Read a book. Play Rainbow Sentences.

ABCya

Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

Last Child in the Woods ~ Chapters 1-4

Welcome to our book study of Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv. To be honest, I have no idea what this "study" is going to look like. I imagine that when we get together I will post about all of the things that caught my eye. And I would ask that you leave a comment, or a link to your own blog post in the comment, about what caught yours. This isn't anything formal, ladies, just a place to talk about what we have read. I have now read the first four chapters of Last Child in the Woods two times. It is just so good. Several things have specifically hit me deep, but in general I just realized that "times, they are a changin'." Things aren't the way they were when we were kids. Chapter 1. Gifts of Nature ~ "When I see birches bend to left and right ... I like to think some boy's been swinging them." ~ Robert Frost What is your definition of nature? What feelings, visions, senses does it conjure up? For me, it's not a
