Library book – December 7

December 7, 2010 By Annette1 Leave a Comment

Farm fresh cats – scott santoro

The lad just LOVES this book, and I have to admit, it’s a good read for me too. If you have a child who likes cats..get this book out. If you have a child who likes the unexpected…get this book out. It is a fun read. We get this book out over and over and over again, and everytime we read it he’s right there looking at the pages and listening actively.

Justin says “I love cats! There is too much cats in it!” (with a huge grin)

Meow – Judy Reinen

Justin says “I love the cats in it”.
And this book is full of cats, some in funny places. Makes a lad smile. 🙂

have you seen birds – by joanne oppenheim

I got this book out because the illustrations were done by barbara reid, and she lives up to her standard. BUT it ended up being a good book. Inspired the boy child to act out the different birds using his stuffed animals.

Justin says “there are too many birds. That it starts with a cat!”

I am Canada – heather patterson

Not a bad book at all. Introduces children doing different things in this beloved country of ours. As Justin says about this book “I AM CANADA”. 🙂

Room for Rabbit – Roni Schotter

This book was oft requested. It’s about a child dealing with the after-affects of divorce. Wasn’t sure about introducing that topic to Justin but overall he was more curious about what rabbit had to say to his little girl.

Justin says “that rabbit says there’s not enough room”

Wish Come True Cat – Ragnhild Scamell

Sometimes wishes come true in ways we don’t expect.
Justin says “that a cat goes thump on a window” 🙂

The other goose – judith kerr

This book is a fun read about a lonely goose. It performs a good deed and gets an interesting reward because of an observant little girl.
Justin says “that the goose things there’s a goose in the car!”

Spring Thaw – steven schnur

this book makes me think I could make a unit study or lap book out of it. A decent book with different observations about a spring thaw.
Justin says “there’s a horse in it”.

Snow Day

December 6, 2010 By Annette1 1 Comment

We were supposed to go to Gymnastics this morning. But since we had two feet of snow today with continuing squalls. Gymnastics was cancelled.

We played in the snow this morning instead. 🙂 Digging, sliding, and just having fun.
Then we made cookies. They were good. 🙂

These are the cookies that we made (we cut the recipe in half)

Oneta Lyon’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 cups softened butter
2 2/3 cup brown sugar
2 2/3 cup white sugar
4 large eggs
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla extract
24 ox chocolate chips
2 cup flour
4 cup flour
nuts are optional

Cream butter and sugars. Beat eggs, add salt, b.soda and vanilla.
combine the above ingredients and slowly add remaining ingredients. Mixture will be fairly stiff.
Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased and floured cookie sheet. NOTE I couldn’t drop them. I just rolled small balls and put them on the cookie sheet – secondary note: parchment paper is LOVELY to use as are those silicone cookie sheets.

Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Do not overbake. NOTE: I found 14 minutes to be perfect, it gave me a mostly hard, but slightly chewy cookie.

Store in an airtight container with one slice of bread on top. This will keep the cookies fresh. Makes 8-9 dozen.

Munched on cookies rather than have lunch.

And then I got to work putting together a trains unit study. Not so much on trains, but using trains instead to teach basic kindergarten concepts. came from Currclick Trains mini lapbook.

we learned the sign for Train, and train gone. 🙂

The Dollar Stretcher. They have a variety of sections, this one on Christmas.

freebie of the day.

Every weekday, Monday through Friday, we’ll post a new homeschooling “freebie” to this site. What kind of “freebies”? Stuff like: Unit Studies… Ebooks… Audio Programs… Games… Samples… Lesson Plans… classic books… and other quality resources! This is the REAL THING. Many of these will be products that you would normally pay for on their regular websites… but here on the Homeschool Freebie of the Day site, they’re 100% free… at least for that one day! Just download your copy and enjoy! It’s as simple as that!

Do know that if you sign up for freebie of the day, you’ll get an email every week telling you what they will be posting. They occasionally post “you can buy this inexpensively” items, and will send you and email or two about that item. They don’t send those type of emails out all the time though. Some of them are indeed good deals. Each weekly email includes a freebie that you get by being a subscriber and some of them are pretty neat. 🙂
