Friday


Short day today for the "last" day of school..... the big kids get out on Friday.  Our school heads to local parks for games.  We will have enough time for calendar, personal calendar, and maybe a story or two.  

Final pack up and clean.  Don't forget to take your last day of school photo, I'm using ones from here

Plus I'm using these too! 

In second grade, oh did you know my mother teaches second grade?, the kids think it's so funny when she comes into our room.  They kind of snicker and sit really still lol because you know, she's the mom :) . Oh back to the story- in her room, I take all of the kids photos on the second day of second grade.  Then I take their photos the second to last day of school.  

We do a class photo and all the kids sign the frame... I've been getting them every year at Dollar Tree... well not this year, I'm bummed :(

Week in review: Summer Fruits

I bought these balance games at Target.  

I am so glad that I did.

There are four in total.

Ark, ocean, farm, and fruit.

We have been learning self-control with these.

You need to stack these items to balance.

The first time Froglet did it, it worked! I was shocked.

Then we try it again.  It didn't work.

We got mad and we tried again, and again. :) 

We added fruit clings to the window.

We won this game by Learning Resources. 

We got 4 lemonade stands.

One tray.

3 yellow and 3 pink cups.

1 pink and 1 yellow cups with straws.

 playing cards and 20 coins.

Game play- turn over a card and create the pattern of cups on the card.

We were about half way through the deck when we ran out of the coins.

So I had to grab some small buttons to finish the game. 

We put the watermelon numbers in order.

Then we matched the 10 frames to them.
