Spring's beauty! This is the time to capture some beautiful weather happening around us. Take out the camera and snap those photos. Have your kiddos use DESCRIBING words to tell about the photo or scene. Over the next few day our weather will be up and down. Over the next week, talk about Spring being a LION and a LAMB!

Here are some  friendly sites for the kiddos to view. The OLYMPICS is such an amazing time for the athletes as well as Americans. So take a look here.  The links cover the Vancouver Olympics or the history of the olympics. Enjoy the links:

Here it is..the next project...SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE! Project Life is about ...well, just life. The simple and daily things around us that we do, see, eat, read, love, not love, find, celebrate, cry about..well, you know what I mean. But the key here is just this: THIS IS FOR YOUR FAMILY. THIS IS FOR YOUR KIDDOS. Our ZANEY BRAINY TIP: your children should be involved in daily photo taking and the journaling. "CAPTURE IT ALL!"
Focus on simply writing a good sentence or two.

Ohhh, it's cold out side...and the snow is falling. But there are plenty of things to do.

Take a look and complete this checklist!

1. Time for snow angels ...and measure the arm span of each angel. Can you make the same one twice?
2. Build a snowman...and measure the circumference of each ball of snow!
3. Get out the food coloring and water bottles...build a snow castle and then use the food coloring (mix with water) and spray or squeeze out the colors in the snow. Mix your colors to make new colors! This is a real fun and magical one.
4. The birds are hungry. So, find the pincones, peanutbutter, and birdseed. Have fun hanging them outside. Observe the many kinds of birds that are still around.
5. Hot cocoa and home-made marsmellows. Follow the directions from this:

6. Its time to take a look at SYMMETRY. Cut out snowflakes from white paper. For one night, hang them over the dinner table or in a bedroom. It's a fun moment to make anyone smile!
7. Go to BLOG...read about One Little WORD. Find one! This is an amazing list of words...so have fun!
