First Day ~ July

By

Yesterday was July 1st and you know what that means! It's time for another look at our First Day.

Rain drops on my flowers.
And on the stone path.

The dogs did not want to go out into the rain to potty.


Read aloud time .. Escape from Mr. Limoncello's Library



Some lunchtime Chopped

Financial Aid documents for Dawson, my college student.

I'm still doing the Fix a few days a week with running.

On our way to speech therapy.



Had to leave the session to pick up my library book I left
at the dentist office last week.



I can't get enough of watermelon!!

Things were a little dicey around here for a few hours.

Mommy, is there a tornado out there?

No, boys, just LOTS of rain!!

    This is the first time I've seen first day. I like it! It's fun getting a glimpse of everyday life.

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.

This was as far as we were able to get in the series this year. We were at the end of our school year and Dawson was ready to move on to his unit-of-choice: knights. The next two units in the America: The Story of Us series were Episode 8: Boom and Episode 9: Bust , or better known as The Roaring 20's and The Great Depression. We spent three weeks combined on these two units. Our book for both units was The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I had never read this book before and I thought it was an excellent portrayal of the good and bad of the 20's. The symbolism was astonishing and meaty, and I recommend having your student do an essay on the symbolism in the piece. I wish I would have done that with Dawson. We watched both Episodes 8 and 9, did the discussion questions/video quiz fo
