Book Reports

Finley has done three book reports lately.I have found the best way to set up her report is to have a section to write about the beginning, then the middle, then the end. This forces her to be more thorough than if I just ask for a general summary. The books she has read for these reports are Junie B. Jones Smells Something Fishy, Fancy Nancy Sees Stars, and Scooby-Doo and The Whiff of Pizza.

Winter Art

I was on Pinterest and I found a cute craft that was cardinals on tree branches. The craft on pinterest used handprints for the cardinals but I wanted to give the girls a little more freedom to be creative so I just gave them the paint and showed them the picture I saw on pinterest and let them use their imaginations to create a similar picture. I LOVE the way they turned out. I'm pretty sure this turned out to be my favorite art project so far.
