Lesson 55

Okay...I had written up a whole post around 5pm today...and explorer decided to just blink out. Very strange, and of course aggrivating! URGH!

The smartest boys in the world had a wonderful day of studies. And they feel that with just a little more time they will know the secrets of the universe...and with that will come the power to make a national day of candy eating, gameboy playing, and of course the national day of wearing shoes with a wheel in the heel. Hee hee!

Highlights of the day:
Remy was still on the letter L today. And the number of the day was 11. He counted the 11 cherry blossoms and then finger painted them with a pretty pink paint. :)

He loves to use his hands to paint. And we love that he loves it. :)

We talked about the ark today and he colored a rainbow, glued cottom for fluffy clouds, and pasted the ark on the page. He found the whole idea of a great flood just incredible! :)

On the paper was a little poem.

Rainbow
by: Laurel Hicks

A rainbow! A rainbow!
Shining up above.
Remember the rainbow
it says that God is love.

A rainbow! A rainbow!
Arching o'er the wood.
Remember the rainbow
It says that God is good.

A rainbow! A rainbow!
With lovely colors bright.
Remember the rainbow
It says that God is light.

A rainbow! A rainbow!
Shining cool and clear.
Remember the rainbow
It says that God is near.

So sweet!!!!!

For fun today he made a little paper craft. It is space themed and when you blow it, it spins.

Eli and Remy had a fun day in science. They are looking forward to doing an experiment with white carnations...now to find them. I did find a worm kit on Rainbow Resource for the worm experiment we never did. I just am NOT in a hurry to do that one. YUCKY! I guess as long as we aren't cutting worms open I can deal with it!

We read some riddles today and Eli loved it! Thinking that a riddle book would be a great present for him whenever I feel the need to treat him. :) Maybe Valentine's?

The rest was just normal stuff. Nothing exciting. It was just a Monday kind of day for us. :) Hope you enjoyed this blog. I had so much more on the first one...but after it wiped out...I said forget it! LOL!
