I think it is safe to say that Malachi is extremely excited about soccer starting!

Fish Tank

We studied fish in Science this week.  Along with our Science book, we read these fun books:

We found a great use for a fish tank, whose inhabitants have long been gone, at The Crafty Crow.

Always looking for an excuse to use permanent markers and swish our hands around in water, this craft was perfect for us.  One cut up milk jug and a few permanent markers later, we were busy!

Mr. Clean sponges and two-year-old's are a great combination.

Ta-Da!

On another day we made these fish with scales:

I guess Malachi was using his shark snacks to demonstrate the food chain:

More Math Fact Woes

Malachi closed himself up in the bathroom, free from noise and distractions, in order to do this math fact sheet.  However, there was nothing to help him get away from the distractions in his mind.  He spent 25 minutes in the bathroom and then came out with this paper.  I wonder how much of that time was spent writing this sentence or thinking about how he "ken not" do it?  I just had to laugh... and, as you can see, his declaration is false.  He really can do it and he does it very well when he is not trying to convince himself that he can't!  Oh, and this is the very first sentence he has written by himself.  Should I be proud or worried?

Twisty Straw, Target, and Trampoline

That's one way to do it!

We spent several days last week in math at our Target store: 

The kids love to jump on the trampoline with mommy.
