Summer At Our House

A couple of summers ago I was blessed with the great idea of having theme days. My kids needed something to look forward to every day and I needed some guidelines. Over the last few summers we have tried out some different theme days. I choose 5 themes every summer and once a week we take a day and work on a theme.
Installment #1 of Summer of 2010 theme days; Science Day!

For our very first science day we learned about plants. What do they eat? How do they grow? What is a plant and what is not a plant? Our activity consisted of each of the kids helping me to prepare the garden and choosing 4 fruits/ veggies to plant. We are excited to enjoy the fruits of our labors later on this summer!

My favorite quote of the day came from Bethanie: "Mom, I feel so good after I work hard on something."
