School Outdoors today!

What better "classroom" than God's Green earth!   We are having some wonderful weather this week (and praying it continues thru the weekend for our camping trip!).  We decided to have school outside on our patio today!  Still continuing with our bug unit and our Summer Sun Scholar program!


Our "outdoor desk"...lol


Noticed a Robin flying in and out of a bush we have right next to the patio. She had a nest.
Funny thing is, if you see that blue streak of paper inbedded into the nest?  It's Easter Grass...
must be she found if left over after our Soggie Egg Hunt!


From the Summer Sun Scholars Program. Making up
an address book!




Of course his 1st entry is his camping buddy and BFF, Mike!


More on bugs!  





Bug hunt lead to finding an interested beetle. Sorry the picture was blurry.

His Venn Diagram from his Butterfly/Moth Scholastic News. 
This was the 1st one he had ever done. He liked them!

After school was over...we went a few feet to our backyard
playground!  Enjoying the nice weather!

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
