Monday is Music Day -- where we learn about a classical composer and listen to some of his music. This week we learned about Frederic Chopin. Breanna loved his music because the song we listened to reminded her of ballet. Sarah didn't like it at all.
Tuesday is Art Day -- we learn about an artist and then do an activity from what we learned. Yesterday we talked about Claude Monet and Impressionism. Then we painted our pictures.
Here's Sarah & her picture
Breanna & her picture
I thought they did a pretty good job.Wednesday is Fun Day -- Sarah & Breanna went their friends houses, so I could get some sewing done during nap time. After I picked them up we got $.79 cent cones at McDonald's and I let them run around.
Thursday is Craft Day -- I'm not sure what we're doing yet, but I'll be sure to post pictures. Maybe we'll make some jewelry or something crafty!
Friday is Library Day -- a fun little trip to the library is all. Sarah doesn't have her class on Fridays, so we go with our sticker-filled card to get fun little toys from participating in the library reading program. Then we will do something fun at night. That can include -- movie night (you've seen that in a previous blog I'm sure), Fiddlesticks (we have so many coins left from a previous visit), swimming, having friends over, etc. Just a fun night.
I feel like I mainly want to do this to help my kids have fun memories of their childhood. It's all about the kids, RIGHT!!!

Wow! That's awesome. I bet that'll help you keep your sanity and make your summer fly by.
I always have those same grand plans and fizzle out. But I bet you won't fizzle.
