 Math Is More Fun With A Nexo Knight Helper

FINALLY got some hands-on Lego math activities.

Lorelei's colony made me laugh.
She can't really give up her beloved spaghetti sauce,
 so since you can't kill animals in her colony, you can just get it from other colonies. ;)
Its hard to see the map key, but she has "Mom and Dad's House",
 which she made sure to put next to the water since we love the beach. :)

A new favorite author/series of books,
both comical and great for reading with expression.

Makin has been learning more about money.
He had quite the head-start after learning alongside Lorelei last year.
He loved counting change out for our little store and Lorelei loved helping set it up!

We are really loving meeting up with friends Wednesday mornings at the library.

Nayeli is a "regular" with us, and often we also have Amelia and Alex join us as well.

We moms take turns with whoever needs help and pitch in as needed and somehow it works out to help us all have a bit of a sanity break!

Snack break with a view.

They always have great hands-on activities for our recess breaks.

Scarves blown up by air...
sometimes the library activities are TOO fun and make it hard to get work done! :)

We opted for Starbucks when no friends could make the library one rainy Wednesday.
"Because of the special drink and we can hear the sound of them making coffee." -L

Learning how our bodies work and blood flows to and from the heart.

The school had their first awards assembly during chapel this year. Makin was chosen to receive an award, "in recognition of his leadership by example of Christian character." Each teacher gave out awards for each student in their classroom that afternoon as well. (I believe Makin's will be given out at his K graduation coming up...) Lorelei received a "Ray Of Sunshine" award from Mrs. McCorkle for "always having a sweet smile and great story to tell."

There is a lot coming up in May for school, so decided to go ahead and make one more school post after our last couple of weeks because this one was getting long! :)
