Earth Day Activities....

I came across some great earth day worksheets to use. I used page 1 for the really young ones and some of the other pages also. We discussed things that can hurt the environment and how important it is to recycle.

National Geographic 4 Kids

We have been spending some time on this website lately. It is so much fun.

• There are lots of geography games to play.
• There is an online encyclopedia of animals, people and places. We are loving the animals one right now.
• Activity ideas and experiments are also on the site.

I think taking some time and exploring what is on this site is a wonderful idea.... did I happen to mention that it is all FREE.

Free Online Curriculum

I am not sure how I happen to come upon these two sites... the first is



Head of the Class is a free online curriculum for use covering grades Kindergarten to Second grade.


and the second one is Lesson Pathways. It's a full-curriculum for grades Kindergarten through 6th grade.

I just signed up to both of these sites to use for the rest of this year with my daughter and I plan to come back and do a review in a few weeks. So far I am really liking what I am seeing with Lesson Pathways.

Great site for practicing Math... IXL
Have fun exploring and enjoy!

2010 Olympics in Vancouver, BC, CANADA

I can not think of a better theme to do right now then the Olympics. It seems most of Canada has Olympic Fever and who can blame them. It is so exciting to watch all the athletes compete and represent their countries.




I am going to be adding links and stuff we do at our house to celebrate the Olympics in our homeland of Canada.

Colouring Pages:

For craft time we are making Gold medals today. I think maybe torches on Friday. Thursday we go to a local playgroup so that eats up most of the day for us.
