Collage Friday and a Video


We have had a good week here in NY. The snow is melting and the signs of spring are everywhere!  I am ready for the light coat and to put away my Uggs for the season.  

Zachary worked on the Women and Children of the Revolutionary War - and some fun Scholastic - Super Science!  He is always working on his IPAD playing Scrabble, Words with Friends, Monopoly, Stack the States and Stack the Countries.

The girls and I talked about what is happening outside with the plants and animals. Waking up!  Sammie also enjoyed this Sofia the First Unit.


We had so much fun making our Chocolate Volcano Cakes from our Raddish box this week.  

Of course some Spring crafting was in order. We made these easy cupcake paper and button flowers pictures.

Also using some kitchen sponges (for stamping)  from dollar store to make these beautiful spring cards. 

Thursday Science - again going to our Raddish box and finding a cool experiment.  This experiment has been done for years in Science classes around the world.  It's an oldie but goodie! Vinegar Volcano Molly even did her 1st Video telling you all about it!







Looking forward to Molly's 7th Birthday this weekend!  Enjoy your weekend and dont forget to come and link up with me at Homegrown Learners - Collage Friday!

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...
