Day 19 Ancient Greece unit: we snuggled up & had some R&R this afternoon (reading the Odyssey & relaxing with choc chip cookies!)

I'm on this crazy diet & I can't believe I'm surviving after 12 days eating no sugar or grains & drinking black coffee too! I feel good.

Day 20 Ancient Greece Unit: kids finished their folder books. Now I'd better get to bed! Kids will be acting tomorrow & I have to film!

Day 21 Wow, we completed our Ancient Greece Unit! We all had a blast filming our end-of-unit drama: Hades & Persephone! Hope to YouTube it!

We're enjoying a few days of break between units and having fun making Valentines for loved ones!

Follow along as we blast off into space with our astronomy unit! Day 1: a look at what ancient stargazers thought about the universe.

Does anyone have any hands-on activities for learning about astronomy? I welcome your ideas!

Thanks to my sister Patty, I found the perfect video to show the vastness of the universe for our Astronomy unit! Eames' Powers of Ten!

Here's the YouTube link for that video <youtube.com/watch?v=0fKBhv…> Awesome!

Read-aloud is a great way to involve the whole gang! Astronomy unit day 3, we chose a few library books and read about Mercury & Venus.

Asteroids, comets, & meteors were the topics for day 4 of astronomy unit. Those who did a solar system quiz & a puzzle earned bonus points!

Eyes of the Solar System from NASA lets children explore planets, the sun, & more. My kids love it! Great tool for our Astronomy Unit!

Awesome lyrics and hook by kids of Comegys School in Philly reminding us all to be #BuddiesNotBullies! youtube.com/watch?v=GMwkNL…

Here are the highlights from our Astronomy unit: amazing stargazing w/ Sky Guide app, NASA's space exploration, & latitude/ longitude games!
