I had this posted on my old blog and it just never got moved over. Here is our timeline! It is very simple and I really like it as far as timelines go! It is easy to use because you can add things or move things without re-doing your entire timeline! I originally got this idea from Linda Faye over at Higher Up and Further In. Here is her entry on their timeline. All I did was use tacks to hang string up on the wall. Then, I use paperclips to hang the individual cards in their place. I just ... Read More about Our Timeline
Daniel’s Duck
This week, the local county fair is coming to our town, so I thought it would be the perfect time to row Daniel’s Duck by Clyde Robert Bulla. This is a FIAR selection about a little boy named Daniel whose feelings get hurt when he hears people laughing at the duck he carved for the county fair. This book takes place in our very own state, Tennessee! So, we will spend a little time learning a little bit more about our own state. We will color the flag, the state bird - mockingbird and the ... Read More about Daniel’s Duck
Roxaboxen – Desert Crafts
Today we had Will over to make two messy crafts that will remind us of the desert. We used SAND, of course! We reviewed where the story of Roxaboxen takes place…what is that type of land called?

(How do you like that name? I’m not really sure what to call them!) We poured colored sand into our ... Read More about Roxaboxen – Desert Crafts
A Wildflower Walk
I got this wonderful idea from Melissa, who loves to go on wildflower walks with her kids! I was inspired by reading her posts, so I decided to try this today with our kids. We got a bucket and headed out to find some wildflowers! While we were headed down the road, we also remembered to bring a trash bag this time and pick up trash we saw on the side of the road. We see trash everytime we go walking and kept forgetting a trash bag, so today we remembered! I was proud of the kids for working so ... Read More about A Wildflower Walk
Our Cactus
The setting for our book this week, Roxaboxen, is in a desert. So, I thought it might be fun to get a small cactus for us to observe. Here is our cute little cactus! And yes, this little thing is very prickly! We have taken turns just barely touching it, but if you bumped up against this thing it would definitely hurt! I also have a book or two from the library that we will be reading next week to learn a little more about these curious plants. The one I got from walmart was only .97, so ...
