I LOVE THIS SITE!!!!!

The Head of The Class is a wonderful site. I just found it lastnight and it is so great. You can set up each child a student account which makes it even better so nothing gets confused. I also noticed if you have two kids in same grade their work is not the same so that was neat. In a sense it reminds me of the online K-12, only free, more parental control and much more fun in my kids opinon. I have yet to find answer keys on anything but I haven't needed them so maybe when I do I will find them lol. The following is a copy of their website

Head of the Class provides preschool through eighth grade parents, learners, and teachers with free access to curriculum-based content. Organized by grade-level, you will find instruction, activities, and multimedia on reading, math, spelling, writing, art, history, music, geography, science, Spanish, and more.
At Head of the Class, we believe education should be free. Our team’s goal is to make education readily available to everyone. Our software works on PCs, Macs, as well as Smartboards with no downloads or special software required.
Head of the Class was created for all learners. Advanced learners have the opportunity to move ahead one or more grade levels; learners who have struggled in the past, can build a strong foundation for success; other learners can master fundamentals that take them to the Head of the Class.
Within Head of the Class you will find:

• Thousands of pages of curriculum-based instruction organized by grade level
• Hundreds of videos presenting a variety of art activities
• Thousands of dynamic worksheets, the contents of which change each time you open them
• Hundreds of applications that teach math, phonics, spelling, and much more

Lowe's Build and Grow

At Lowe's yesterday the kids made a Mothers Day vase. It was really cute. The front of the heart is a chalkboard. It amazes me how cute these projects are years ago when we started this they were not up to the quality they are now.

Jr. Blacksmith Class for the boys!!

Today the boys took a Jr. Blacksmith Class at Stephen Foster Cultural center.    They had a BLAST!!! Fox has been running around all day shaking everyones hand blacksmith style. They loved actually using real tools and heating the metal. Their teacher was a great retired math teacher/engineer and they had alot of fun with him. The whole center is just wonderful and HUGE. The museum was wonderful and beautiful. Fox loved the dioramas and Damian really liked the huge paintings. All in all it was a great morning and the boys happily showed off their hooks to anyone who would look at them. Of course Damian once again gave his up to baby sister Skyler because that is just the little boy he is, always thinking if baby sister didn't get something. He is so sweet with her!!!

The boys had a blast and they loved getting a "diploma" as Fox called it lol.

Lego Thursday!!

This is Fox. Fox loves legos. He likes kits, things he dreams up himself and will try to make anything you ask him too. This is the mad scientist dissecting lab. As you see the mad scientist is dissecting a creature called "The Beast".

This is a rescue guy in his travel copter. Not quite sure who or what he is going to rescue but that is what Fox said he does so there you have it!!

Wordless Wednesday

Lowe's Build And Grow Game Box

There is the three kidos building their game boxes. The boxes themselves are adorable. Besides the fun of actually building them on their own, they came with little game cards and all. The little dice is actually wooden and the little cardboard sleeve you see is filled with chalk. The top of the box is a chalk board!!! How cute is that? Lowes build and grow gets cuter and cuter I think. They also have tons of sets now that you can buy which of course I want all of them!!!
