Fun with fractions at dinner

Huh? Yes…I am that uninteresting. I brought some flashcards to the table so we could have some fun in case we ran out of good stuff to talk about. Then we of course ended up doing some silly games whenever Sam got one right. I told him I’d fall out of my chair and…(insert gross boy noise here). Here’s a movie of the fun we had any time Sam got a hard one: fun with fractions

March reading log (Kainalu Pride).

March reading log (Kainalu Pride).

Lest you think we are all nonsense, here’s a little picture of the monthly reading log, transformed into a calendar so it is actually useful to the whole family. The school asks us to record what we are reading daily, and also to make note of any family, fitness or healthy foods we’ve worked into the day. The idea is to raise awareness that it takes more than just the school or academics to help each child reach his or her potential. We all work better when our environment is in a healthy balance. Of course finding that balance is hard for some of us ;0 but hey at least we try!

The boys are going a little nuts now – wonder if the neighbors can hear us???!!!

    Love the calendar you created for the school! Especially the ideas that are planted on it, and the “k” in “kainalu Pride”! You are delightful! I’ve done the video 4 times — wanted longer ones of boys being boys!!! It is so much fun to see them grow up with boyhood going on!! Made me laugh each time I watched it!
