School on the Road~

We had the joy of spending the day with BC so we Schooled on the Road!
I grabbed the IPads and Mr. Popper's Penguins~
We were a little over halfway through the book so we read two chapters
and listened by Audible every hour to finish it up.

One chapter listed all the penguins so we wrote them down
and made up some games.
We also made a list of names in our family
and sorted the two lists with boys/girls for little kids.
EK and SJ worked on ABC order with both lists 
and copied them for copywork~
 I was amazed that the little 4 could read lots of the names on the list~
Boys:

Bitty Girls:
The time between games and listening to the story was spent IPadding.
.
Cool seeing EK and SJ reading along with the book
while we listened with Audible~
The celebration to the whole day...
Watching the movie on the way home!!!
We LOVE Mr. Popper's Penguins!!!

Mr. Popper's Penguins~

We continued reading Mr. Popper's Penguins today
and added a fiction and non fiction selection to the mix.
For our 'activity' they traced, cut, and created a little penguin for some math work~
 Evie was so cute tracing the right side of pattern with her right hand
then switching to her left hand when on the left
{and I didn't correct her because it worked for her}
and just look at Payne working with that cast~
 Then there is Holly that actually understood the directions to cut ON the lines
and glue all her parts correctly... SO excited for her!!!
We played a fish eating game by putting a few fish in the penguin tummy~
 Writing it on the dry erase board and showing me with their fingers,
they loved subtraction!
{baby for EK/SJ but they humored us!}
So fun!!!



Birthdays, Stitches, and a Wedding~

Rosie and Leighton celebrated their birthdays four days apart, and we had a ball at Leighton's Magical Unicorn Waterslide 4 YO party~ It...
