We ended the day with a trip to the library to get books on the Rainforest (& Brazil!), and C picked out several Halloween books (he's ahead of the game).
I am impressed that you make workboxes work for both kids. I tried them once but I am too disorganized to keep them up. We should "visit" rainforest again one of these days.
ReplyDeleteLots of great learning going on here. I am trying HWT for the first time this year:)

ReplyDeleteGood for you getting out all the hands on resources. That's my bugaboo area-meaning I'm working on it. I think it's great for the kiddos.
