Today we learned about the Declaration of Independence at co-op! Davis got to write with a pigeon quill.

We're doing the Presidential Challenge in gym to see how many sit-up, push-ups, shuttle-runs, etc. we can do. Miah likes it so much that she wants to play school when she gets home from school.

Noah's guy - "sitting in a beanbag chair with the remote" =) Despite his apparent dream life, his math teacher said that he's working really hard and doing a great job!

Today Miah read the entire 11 chapters of A Noodle Up Your Nose and took the quiz too. She says that Kate is just like her because Kate hates to wear dresses too.

It's a slow starting Monday (we had part of last week off due to the funeral) but we're jumping back in!

The sites that complimented Miah's work today were:
Grammar: Capitalization & Run-On Sentences - http://classroom.jc-schools.net/la/activities/worksheets.html

Math: Time & Money Worksheets - http://www.mathfactcafe.com/time/timemoney.aspx
(this is a great site as it allows me to select various levels, amounts and it's new each time)

Davis is doing LOTS of letter sounds. This week we're matching letters with the picture sounds, doing more Letter Factory Games & generally anything we can think of to help with commiting the letter sounds to memory. The site for the worksheets shown here is: http://www.leapfrog.com/en/leapfrog_parents/preschool_-_grade.html (you'll need to sign-in -account is free)
