Ants go Marching one by one...

Our Monday started with a Pirate Playdate to celebrate the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie that opened up on Friday!  (we did not watch any as the kids are too llittle but we did watch Jake and the Neverland Pirates on Disney Jr.) 

School started with Molly doing a great match up game from Homeschool Creations. She has a preschool pack that is all about Pirates!  I love it!


Then we marched on to our Ant unit! 




Molly so quickly changes her "pace" and moved on to a sequencing page 
about chickens...lol

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
