Big Little Science Centre Fieldtrip - Part 1

I set up a trip for some of our homeschool group to a great science place that is a couple hours away from us.  It is called the Big Little Science Centre.  It was really fun.  We did a unit on the properties of water and had a great day!  Bubbles, Bubbles and more Bubbles.  Here are a ton of snaps from the day!  I am going to do this in two parts because I have so many pictures I want to share.  Here is the indoor part of the day, only some of the pictures.

My next post will be on the bubble fun we had outside afterwards.

Educational games

I found some great educational game ideas on www.pinterest.com.  I really love that site!  I can pin my ideas and am able to find them later on!  :)  These particular games are called "Tumble Towers"  I made a Sight Word Set and a Multiplication set.  Here are some pictures of the games I made for Miss R and for Mr. L.  :)

This is the game I made for Miss R. for Sight Words.

This is what it looks like.  The Ideas is to write the words on the bottom of the cups

if she gets the word right she can start to build the tower, if she gets it wrong she must

put it to the side and try again.  If she gets them all right she has a large tower and a small

tower.  Then she can knock it over and start again.  FUN!

Top of the tower.

Here is a picture of the times tables ones I made for Mr. L.  I wrote the times table fact on the bottom of the up and wrote the answer inside the cup.  Same Idea as the sight words but with Times Tables.

The Kids are really enjoying these new games and ask to play them lots, hopefully it will help them get their facts quickly.  :)

Mr. D's soccer Wrap-up

Little Mr. D. had his soccer wrap up today.  It was so fun.  The other kids wrap-up is next week.  Here are a couple pics of today.  He is so proud of his medal.
