Hi! Here's a quick check in on what's happening in my crazy life...
I went from the sunny Atlantic Ocean to my favorite body of water, Lake Superior, in one week!
A few years ago, my hubby gifted me a set of 6ml neoprene chest waders. I love to put them to use playing in the ice cold water in February! No, I wasn't warm, but neither did I die of hypothermia in the hour+ I was in the water at Burlington Bay. See my social accounts for more crazy fun chasing mini icebergs! Yep, that's me way out there!
This week was our American The Beautiful theme!
We learned about many American symbols including the bald eagle:
The states:
(we completed this large puzzle together!)
The Statue of Liberty:
We hope you enjoy the lovely picture frame the kiddos made for you!
We took a good long look at the Pledge!
Yep, this one is on the report card.
Keep working on it at home.
We recite it at least weekly.
These American hearts make me smile!
Here are a few learning stations around the room!
