This week we...

We watched the movie Hoot and really enjoyed it. The girls also learned about the burrowing owls and how one person can make a difference and help save wildlife.

We played some bingo games this week. One was about space, and the other had lower case consonants.

We went to the park a couple times, had fun on the playground, and saw how big the goslings are getting. We also visited a park in a neighboring county to do some geocaching.

We have been having fun with the new web cam we bought. We bought it to "visit" my dad, but we have also used it to make our own little movies. It's so much fun!

The girls had fun making pictures with glitter...and I had "fun" cleaning up afterwards. No matter how much I think I got it all, I'll still see glitter here and there for a while!

The girls both received their NWF magazines and have read them cover to cover.

We had fun making shadows with our hands. We figured out how to make a dog, bunny, and soaring bird pretty well.

We learned more about China and had a Chinese meal. Olivia and Georgia seem to use chopsticks better than I do...and I've used them quite a few times in my life! They picked up on it quick!

The girls played their geography game, put together puzzles, wrote stories, drew pictures, practiced gymnastics... all the usual fun stuff!

Georgia practiced writing in cursive some more, and practiced playing the recorder, too.

We read some more library books.

Georgia has taken some more pictures with the camera.

Tomorrow we'll be releasing the snails back to the wild. We've really enjoyed watching them but its time to let them go.

I'm sure the girls will also want to make some more movies tomorrow!
