Word Rocks Rock!

We made these out of some flat glass stones from Dollar Tree. It's one of Jet and Marvel's favorite school activities. I wrote the words on paper then we cut them out and glued them to the underside of the stones.

They already had phrases in mind when we got them out today.

Jet can read all the words in our set now. I think it's time to make some more!

Marvel is not really reading yet, but she does know most of these words on sight.

Of course, the game gets a little silly. By the end it is usually a competition to see who can make the silliest sentence/phrase.



You can make your sister sit on pizza.

Or you could put your dad in a can.

The possibilities are endless.

I have been adding more rocks as the kids need more words. I think my new fav method is clipping words out of magazines.

Back to School

After a long winter break we are back to the books today. Jet's reading work took twice as long as usual...then he realized he accidentally did two lessons. They zipped through some worksheets (with their new scented pencils!) and were done with everything by lunchtime. That has left them free to run around the house screaming like banshees while I tried to get the twins to nap. Cash played upstairs with them for awhile and Fox finally fell asleep. I was heading up to get Cassius for nap I bumped into jet on the stairs - giggling and pointing around the corner. This is what I found there.



Jet and Marvel are still half dressed so I didn't manage to get any pics of them studiously working on handwriting and math, but I think the pictures of the baby sleeping on the stairs give a better idea of what our day was like.
