Happy February 1st to everyone out there in Blogland! We are gearing up for a busy month in homeschooling this month...so much to celebrate
On a sad note my husband received an email last night from a co-worker (and friend) that was suppose to meet him for dinner but never showed..the co-worker's FIL and MIL were in a bad car accident and the FIL died and MIL is in ICU - the co-worker and wife live here in NY and the In Laws live in North Dakota. Praying for the family. the flight they caught and healing hearts. So sad...
Ok back to happier news.....my son is obsessed with LEGO's....as a lot of 6 year old are. We receive the Lego Education catalog a few times a year and he always goes thru it (like we did when we were little with the Christmas Wish Books) and marks everything he wants. This time, Bubby (aka Grandma) decided to let him get a few things (her treat)...he was thrilled and waited each day for the package to arrive! It came last Thursday (only 3 days after ordered I might add...what a LONG 3 days for him and me...) So here is what he got:
He is really into building things that are mechanical and have working parts...gears...switches etc. He even took a new notebook and started making a LEGO EDUCATION booklet with instructions on how to build things. So cute and so a part of our schooling. He spends at least 2 hours a day building and creating!

Do you use Lego's for school teachings?

I never thought of using legos in school until I started reading your blog. My daughter struggles with fine motor coordination, so I think this is definitely something I will need to get. I think it's great your son loves them so much. To put together his own How-To book, is awesome!
