Family Games and summer learning

My oldest is 9 and my youngest is 5, these are some of our favorite games. The oldest gets to teach--as does the middle child.

• Sum Swamp
• No Stress Chess
• Old Maid
• Mermaid Cards
• Pizza Fraction Fun Game
• Math Dice

I also purchase workbooks off of amazon for the summer months. Each child has to do 3 pages when they wake up in the morning.  These are some of my favorites--

• Comprehensive Curriculum of Basic Skills
• Sylvan Fun on the Run Series
• Sylvan Workbooks

I also do science in the afternoons, last year we focused on geology and did lots of "field trips" to local areas.  This year I have signed up the girls for a weekly earth science program a wonderful woman I know is running. They only have 3 sessions and then we are onto Monterey.

We go to the library weekly for books and are working on handwriting styles. They are really liking the last.

ATC-changes

 

My first ATC trade. I had no idea what to expect and followed the guidelines online 2.5x3.5. I did the theme change. After arriving and learning more, a group usually has a theme picked out for each month.

Mine curled and were crazy. I love them

It was a nice change to do something so far out of my comfort zone. I don't work with paper at all. Gelatin Monoprint with images from the internet.
