School Stuff....

To finish off the unit on Egypt, we made a model of the Nile River.

We put rocks, lots of mud, sticks, grass, and other similiar items in

my turkey roaster. We used foil to make the outline

of the river and poured water in and let it

flood just like it does each year.

It was very entertaining and the kids played in it all afternoon. Yes, it became

a huge mess all over the patio and baths were a must after they

were all done.

I decided to make a game for him to work on his sight words. I put them on the

wall with putty-stuff and he hit them with a fly swatter as I said them.

He loved it! Sasha took turns calling out the words, thus helping

her with her reading (bonus), and then Seth called them out

to Addie, who needed help knowing which word to slap,

helping to reinforce them with Seth even more.

Yippee for games. You could do this with spelling words for any

age group. :)
