Back to School

Well, It's been a long time since I posted anything. We took a bit of a break during the summer.
This morning we are back into the swing of things.
1. Learning about instruments online: http://kidsmozart.com/learn-instruments.html
also for music: listening to the classical music station while tidying the house.
2. Claire asked about what raccoons eat so we looked that up online... surprisingly they like snails among other things.
3. Claire wanted to know if it is always cold on the north pole. We found out that the warmest month is July and it doesn't usually get above freezing 32 F
4. Math guessing game. I held cornflakes in my hand counting them quickly in my head and hid them and asked Claire how many. Then she guessed and with each guess I told her higher or lower till she got the right answer.
5. Sorting 5 colors of cards by color
6. Art: decorate fabric with dot markers and crayons for a patchwork pillow.
