September 12, 2011

First of all, I want to say that we had a very moving discussion last night about september 11, 2001 and what it meant to our country. Dylan and Syd watched part of a documentary ( marlee has autism, she did not need to see it, each child is different, she was quietly reading in her bedroom when it came on, so she doesnt really know much about it. )

Today for school:
Prayer: marlee
theme

scriptures: alma chapter 32 select verses, seeds of faith
alpha project: Which one loved her best? by anon.     the kids learned that actions speak louder then words! You can tell anyone I love you... but you have to show it!

science- wrote in notebooks what changes our tadpole/frog has made this weekend... alot of exciting changes!!

Dylan:
he has learned how to breathe and is about to lose his tale.
by dylan.

this is what our little frog is looking like!! Only his tail is getting even shorter!!!!! :)


Girls played frog life cycle game at www.gudli.com while dylan practices multiplication flash cards, then dylan plays game while girls do math.


dylan did great at multiplication! syd rocked at the frog life cycle game then went on to do games on measuring and sequencing! :)
