Fruit Salad yummy yummy!

Celery Mitosis, place celery stalks in cups with differant colored water made with food coloring and the stalks will absorb the respective colors.

Cereal box Memory Game-or in this case Ritz Crackers and Fruit Snacks box Memory Game. Just recycled the boxes by cutting them up in circles and yes Mason got to cut too. Then just match the circles that belong to the box.

Letter Egg Hunt

Wrote random letters on paper and put in eggs. Then hid eggs in yard for boys to find. Once they found the eggs I had them name the letter and sound after they opened each one.

Paper maschae vase-water down glue, rip up fun paper and plaster in empty jar. Then make pipe cleaner flowers they never die:)

Dear Glitter, you usually really scare me because of the horrible mess you leave but when I saw this project on Kids Kraft Weekly I couldn't resist you.

Love,

A Mom and Three boys with Cabin Fever

Mason is a counting machine but relating those numbers to objects is another story so here I just made posters to work on our one to one correspondence.

Great little foam Bird House from a craft store, very easy pop in and peel and stick features:)

Mason the Science Kid!

Mason, is currently obsessed with two shows on PBS one is Super Why, which is a cartoon about a super hero type figure who goes into story books and helps the storybook characters spell words to change their situations (sorry terrible explanation) Anyway Super Why has a "super duper computer" that helps him spell. Mason made his own "computer" out of a calculator. Taking his cue I went in one of my teacher boxes and got out some letter cards hid them around the room and he found them and put them in his Super duper computer. A spontaneous letter lesson I loved. The other show is Sid the Science Kid, which I myself find fascinating the other day Sid made juice pops and talked about observation of the making and melting, cold, hot, etc... So we copied Sid and did this as well. Mason drew a picture of his observations and then of course we enjoyed the treat.

Reduce Reuse Recycle...Mason is all about the Garbage Man coming to get our Recycle Bucket that he gets to put out all by himself. So we have talked a little about how we can re use our trash. Here we did so by making postcards out of old cereal boxes.
