Woke up this morning to only 7 inches of snow, when they predicted a lot more. Oh well, take what we can get! So NO SNOW day for us today, unlike the public schools in our town that had the day off due to snow. We had a great day at school today!
Started off with all three kids getting out all the Playdoh stuff we have! That is A LOT! They created all kinds of concoctions! Had a great time and best of all did it together with no fighting!
After lunch (and about 3 pounds of Playdoh pieces on the floor later)...we got down to our Polar Bear studies!
We have been studying these Sea Bears all month so far and will continue throughout the month. It's amazing what we can all learn, when we do it together!
I found the most fantastic site for materials for FREE! www.polarbearinternational.org
They have pictures, videos, games, print outs, tests and more! LOVE IT!
We played a great Polar Bear board game that I printed off from the above mentioned site. Zachary also started reading his 1st ever real chapter book....The Magic Tree House - Polar Bears Past Bedtime. I will be honest, I am not that familiar with The Magic Tree House Series, but so far (Chapter 1) seems great!

The bird whistle and purple bubble container were the kids' pieces they moved...lol...got them from the junk drawer..lol
They really liked the game.
Great book, so far!
Our next task was to take the bucket that we put on our back deck and measure the snow fall from last night's storm. We are in the middle of learning measurements for the 1st quarter 2011. So much in that category to learn!
Picture of our front yard...can't see the road...we have woods in the front leading down to the road...longish driveway. Nice out!
The lonely Home Depot Orange bucket sits and waits for us to measure it's contents!
Stick the ruler in...
TaDa...7 inches of snow fall (We are in southern NY state) last night.
We recorded it in our January (Months folder) under the date and how many inches.
So all in all a great day of school.....tomorrow and Friday we have friends from out of town coming to visit...school tomorrow morning and then off on Friday! YEAH!
Whatcha up to today?
