Puke Week Fun

So we were all pukey for a week, almost two. But we still had some fun anyway.

This is from the Friday that I missed a post. I was starting to feel bad, but it was Memorial Day weekend, so I was trying not to let it show. It was Montessori Day, so I let them do centers, run around, watch PBS Kids, and play learning computer games.

After Daniel Tiger we went to the library, so that there wouldn't be a rush. I saw on facebook that the summer reading program had begun. We had to go sign them up right away.

Here they are all somewhat excited about summer reading. If they read 8 books and visit the library four times then they get a medal and a coupon book for free tater tots, ice-cream, etc. If they read 20 books then they also get a bonus prize (I think it is a stuffed groundhog and an inflatable toy).

After the library we went outside for lunch.

They played for a while after eating. It was nice outside.

I read them All In A Day by Cynthia Rylant. It was pretty good. The art was nice.

Here they are all piled on top of the little slide.  That was mostly it for Friday. I was feeling pretty lousy, and so I let them play and learn (probably more playing than learning).

This is D at Memorial Day. This is about how last week went...

 

C was the first to get over the pukes, so he got to have some fun last week building things with toothpicks and marshmallows. The thing in his hand is a lump of palm sugar to represent the sun. I know we did other things last week too, but I wasn't in the mood to take pictures. The kids were not in the mood to have their pictures taken.

So we took last week off mostly. This week should be our off week, but I am having us go through this week and then next week will be our first week off. It really was rough last week, and I am not going to say that last week was any type of relaxing fun vacation time. It wasn't fun for anyone. Bad, bad week. 

So today is the beginning of our 3rd week, and is the last week in Unit 1. Next week will be our vacation week.
