Math Help
I just found this Math book that I thought looked interesting! Has anyone tried it with their kids? I am thinking that this could be something that I could do with them in the summer to keep them interested in Math and get them prepared for first grade. Here is the link back to it: http://www.mathlesson.com/level1.html I am ordering it today, so I will post how it works with us once I get it!

Our First Day of School August 25th 2011
We weren't going to start school until Monday, but the girls really wanted to start, so we started today! Everyone was so excited! We started with taking pictures of everyone.
Then we said The Lord's Prayer and followed with the Pledge of Allegiance. One person each day will get to hold the flag while we say the Pledge but I forgot to take pictures of that today. Then we moved on to the Calendar time 
After we spelled out the month and the days and we did music from www.abcjesuslovesme.com We did music for Days of the Week and then we moved on and I let them sing and dance to This is the Day and Deep and Wide
Then we read some Bible Stories and I decided to let them have a snack, so I firgured that since we were doing Creation and it was the first day, I would try to do something really exciting! Since I didn't plan on starting school today, I didn't have mini oreos like someone else had suggested for light and dark, so I had the bright idea that we would have icecream sandwiches because I knew we had them in the freezer, so I sat the kids down and went over the lesson again and said what are our colors again? RIGHT! Black and White! What did God create on the first day? RIGHT! Day and Night so we are going to have icecream sandwiches to go with our colors and the white for day and the chocolate for night- Then there is a bunch of screaming and they are so excited and they run to the table and I open the freezer and guess what????????????????? Dad ate them all! Oh No! So he is sitting at the computer the whole time not saying anything, and I say Honey, did you eat all the icecream sandwiches? He says yea why? So we ended up having popcorn with a little yellow on it and a pc. of Hershey's candy leftover from S'mores
Then we colored on our Apple Tree for today and Blake really didn't want to do this project as you can see in the picture 
This is how many apples went in the tree today and the girls loved how I wrote on the poster and hung it at their level, they were singing this all day and tracing the poster with their fingers 
The last thing we did was make the planet earth, the kids loved making this 
We ended the night with the kids reading by themselves before bed and then after I put them to bed I canned some spaghetti sauce!

Saving Your Kids Papers
Ok- Here it goes- I want to know if you save your kids papers? I had a stack of papers from each of my 3 kids last night to go in their totes and my husband asked me if I saved EVERY SINGLE ONE of the papers that they did? I said just about - lol. But seriously, what do you save and what do you throw away? I know that some of the things my mom saved I just loved looking at it and I liked seeing a book that I had written my name in from when I was little and papers I had done. He said he didn't really care but that his mom only kept trophys and awards but it didn't matter to him, my sister says it is more for us to look back at then the kids she thinks, which I think is true too, because I was looking back at the way they wrote their name last year and reminiscing. So tell me what do you think?
