Homeschool Day 3/23

 Kindergartener

• StoryCubes - you roll these dice with pictures on them and then tell a story based on which pictures you get.  He loved doing this.
• Finished 100 Animals - the counting book he started last week.  He still can't count to 100.  I think his brain just can't handle it.  I'm putting that task away until he's older.
• Follow Finn: A Search and Find Maze Book - he finished this
• Summer's Lab - Insects - we did the lab where you place different foods on a paper plate outside an ant mound and record which food the ants preferred.  Well, they all preferred the honey.
• Nature walk at the park, skipped rocks in the creek (fell into the creek) and played on the playground
