scripture mastery game today and other stuff

-This morning for our scripture masteries game, I printed out all of the scripture masteries we've learned, and cut them in half-- first part and second part. I had the boys go upstairs and I hid the papers all over the room. I told them that a hurricane had come (we learned about hurricanes yesterday) and had scattered the scripture masteries all over. They had to fly in their hurricane tracking planes, find the papers and put them back together. They loved it, and found all the matches. For doing such a great job, they both earned a "10 min. break" certificate to use whenever they wanted during school.

-Because we are learning about weather, I got an abridged, illustrated version of "The Wizard of Oz" for our read aloud book that they really love. I've noticed that Nathan has gotten SO much better at listening to the read aloud books. I think it's because he's older, but mostly because we always do it. I love reading to them and listening to books on CD with them.

-I haven't done art with the boys at all this year. I have a great plan and everything! Maybe I can start that next week and spend the weekend planning it and gathering supplies.
