Stringing along!

Today has been a fun filled day :) We practiced reading during breakfast. Alyssa worked on phonic blends and Casten continued reading short a words!
While we were cleaning up from breakfast, Maizie broke a necklace Lyssi had made, and started stringing the beads back on the string! I was so impressed!!! She wanted to take it apart again after she fixed it! So I went downstairs and brought up a bag of beads and string! The kids sat for an hour stringing together necklaces! They did great! I gave the bigger kids patterns to use, and eventually Lys started making her own!

 Casten was upset his was so short! He had messed up his pattern and had started over!

 Where did Maizie go?

She dropped her necklace!

The rest of the morning we worked on math. Later we started our science unit on the ocean! It's been a fun day! Now we are snuggling in the living room watching The Chronicles of Narnia (the kids haven't seen it before. The theme of the Santa in our mall is Narnia,  so I thought it would be fun! )
