I have the video game kid living in my house. I tell you, he is so in love with gaming that even in his play time he is referring back to the games. Yesterday he built two versions of the Kuppa castle from Mario Brothers. It was so elaborate! There were doors, bushes, windows. He [...]
Well tonight we got an impromptu follow up to the penguin learning session. March of the Penguins is on tonight. It just came on the Animal Planet channel. My son is engrossed already. He even said “look those are like the penguins we saw on the computer”. I love it when it all comes together. [...]
Well, at least that’s what we saw on a post from the National Geographic photo a day. He insisted on trying to replicate it with his crafty skills: The head was on there, but he didn’t glue it back on yet. It is a proper 3 part spider when it is all done. Gotta love [...]
Ain’t this a blip? I kept telling my son he wasn’t getting those aqua dots. I just kept picturing him swallowing them or feeding them to the dog. Boy am I glad that I followed my gut and told him no. Look at this: Scientists say a chemical coating on the beads, when ingested, metabolizes [...]
Today has been pretty busy on the homeschool front. We painted gourds. I did two and he did two: He did watch Noggin this morning, which he usually does. He played video games, also a norm anymore. Now he is cutting paper shapes as he sees fit. I have a triangle sitting here, a rectangle [...]
When we went to Walmart, I decided to pick up a few things for the Kid. I was able to get him some googly eyes, foam stars, and post it note sight words. Did you know that Post It makes educational tools? I didn’t, till now. Here is what happened with the googly eyes and [...]
A new bill for decency in broadcasting was introduced to the House of Representatives. It’s all about trying to get television to clean up its act. Every broadcaster is being put under spotlight to see if the content they are presenting will be harmful to children. I, for one, am happy that someone is finally [...]
My buddy Deb pointed me in the direction of a news article talking about the Fisher Price recall that is going out right now. The worldwide recall being announced Thursday involves 967,000 plastic preschool toys made by a Chinese vendor and sold in the United States between May and August. Okay, this is really negligent. [...]
We have been doing a lot of workbook activities of late. He has been really excelling at getting things done. He is the initiator and begs to do his books nearly daily. We have worked on his penmanship, spelling, letter recognition, reading, simple math, and artsy things. We made insects out of pipe cleaners. He [...]
This just made me laugh. I can picture my son trying the same thing. He can already do so much on my computer. Kim Komando relates how her son became a computer hacker of sorts and he is only in Kindergarten! Talk about genius My son can do pretty much anything he wants on the [...]
