Ticking Time Eggs

Well, it's unbearably cold out this week and will continue to be for the next week as well. We are supposed to get some high winds, along with a snow storm, so it's supposed to be -30 wind chill on Tuesday, and close to that Monday and Wednesday. So with that said, we have been doing a lot of stuff inside. It's about time to stock up on things in the kitchen again too, but that's another post! 
Caleb has been doing his routine school work that we usually do, but instead of reading a book about telling time, we made a game! 

I used old Easter eggs from last year that I know I can just easily replace this year!
I took the top piece and drew on a face of a clock, with a specific time, and on the bottom piece I wrote the time. You then unsnap all of them and mix them all up! He had to find the matching pieces and put them all together! He loved this game, and it only took him about 15-20 minutes to match all these eggs. It was a great way for him to learn to tell time, and he didn't even realize he was doing homework!

New Day, New Adventures

Well, today marks the last day of Caleb in public school! He officially graduated from kindergarten today! He ran off the bus and I about cried! My heart is so full to know he accomplished so much this year! He was marked down, by his teacher, that he was above grade level for reading! He is such a talented and wonderful little boy and I am happy he is home now!
Now, tomorrow I have to get a paper written out stating that we have the intent to homeschool him this following school year. I have all his curriculum ready, and although we aren't technically unschooling him, we are going to fill In with learning from hands on experiences with some subjects.
With all this said, I am so proud of Caleb and all that he has accomplished, I can't wait to get started on 1st grade!
