It was really sunny and warm here this week, so we went to the park a few times. Here are some pics of the time I brought my camera. Sweetpea had a lot of fun riding her big wheel. Buster who can make friends anywhere found a little buddy who had a football. It was really cute watching them toss the ball around.

Karate fun!

I found a kids beginner Karate video at the library last week. The kids had some fun working out to it.

A face to kill!

Punch!

Heart Fish

I saw a post on the Crafty Crow last week that showed making animals out of hearts. We are studying fish/sharks this week, so I decided to have the kids make heart fish.

Trace One large, three medium, and one small heart per fish.

Cut them out

Here's my example for the kids

Glue the large heart down

then the medium

And finally the small one as lips

Decorate

Working on his penguin lapbook

We studied Penguins the past two weeks and you can see a slide show of our lapbook a couple of posts down.

Penguin Lapbook complete

We finished our penguin study this week. The kids really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Sweetpea even got into it. She can show you Antartica on a map, knows what penguins eat, and what eats them. Here is a link to my previous post that shows where I got the printables.

I asked Buster what he wanted to do next and he said Sharks. I found a free lapbook for that also, so that's what we're doing next. http://www.homeschoolshare.com/sharks.php
