Collage Friday

Happy Friday Y'All!

Did you see my review of The Rhino Who Swallowed A Storm?

Teaming up with Reading Rainbow and LeVar Burton was so much fun to bring this review to you! 



School 

The fall weather and everything that comes with it is in full swing in New York.  We have started our USA Studies - one state per week and last week was Maine (Where Are We Wednesdays) This week - New Hampshire.  On Fridays we review what we learned by playing Jeopardy. The kids love it and are very competitive. They win Tech Tokens that they can use towards their technology time. 


Using the board books from Graham Blanchard for our Bible character studies has been real fun. 


Last weekend was our last camping weekend of the season (boooo) but we got to spend it with our best friends and had a blast. The rain did not dampen our fun (on Saturday morning) and the clearing on Saturday night was perfect for the children to Trick Or Treat. 


On Tuesday we went on a cruise up the Hudson River. We met up with 4 other homeschooling moms and their children for the cruise. We made new friends and had a wonderful two hours.   The other guests aboard were a senior group on a Northeast tour. We received many compliments on how well behaved our children were and how wonderful it was that we were home educating them.  It is always nice to get those kuddos. 



We are on another field trip today with many other homeschoolers at a YMCA camp learning about Wildlife Ecology. 

Enjoy your weekend!

Geo Jeopardy looks like lots of fun! A creative way to learn and earn! (I bet you could reuse it for Science and Math and English too, huh?)

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...
