What We Did This Week!

This week we....

Counted to 10 and gathered objects for each number:

Went to a local petting zoo and fed animals:

Though about God's amazing creations!

No my kids are not biking the wrong way on the road! We went to Bike Safety Town this week. A local park for kids to ride their bikes and learn about road safety!

Used our new sketch books to document the fun we had at Bike Safety Town:

We made I Love You cards for Daddy's lunch pail:

Mommy cleaned her infamous junk pile on the counter, it is now somewhat under control again!

We melted crayons to make art!

And we tried to make Mayonnaise, and failed miserably! The lemon juice was bad... yuck! :)

Sketch Books

A fun project we are doing this year is a drawing diary. I purchased some sketch books, these ones were about $4 and gathered up some markers, crayons and pencils. When we do something fun like a field trip or a cool science experiment I am going to have the boys "document" what they did by drawing a picture. This will help them remember what they learned as well as a fun activity (that will also be a "before dinner distraction"). :)

Here is an example of their work! W drew his bicycle in a tornado (the biking part really did happen, the tornado... not so much!). We went to "Bike Safety Town" and learned all about street signs and road markings.

L said the best part was going down the hill really fast! (He's 3).

What are some fun ways you get your kids to remember what they've learned?
