Baby it's cold outside...in Antarctica!

Continuing with our Winter studies - today's topic was Antarctica! The coldest place on Earth! At times getting to -125 F Now I love the cold and snow, but that is just too cold for even me! In fact it does not even snow very much - too cold for that and very dry. Very few forms of life live at the Southern most tip of our planet.

With the map in front of us we had a look at what life would be like in Antarctica - kids voted, not selling the house anytime soon 8)

We did have Royalty here today also 8) (another reason I love homeschooling)

What we read...

For Science this month we are working on the Human Body - specifically this week - CELLS.

We all watched an episode of The Magic School Bus - Cells

(bought entire 52 episode pack on Black Friday on line - LOVING IT)

Girl time on the school computers (blessed to have two laptops for the kids to use)

Until tomorrow...Be Blessed!

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
