...Thanks, Christa! I like the shopping cart idea.<br /><br />To answer your question, I've pulled ideas from lots of places including the Science book I wrote about a few days ago. I've also gotten ideas from various hand-me-down flip activity calendars and books. <br /><br />I also have to confess that I referenced (gasp) state content standards, even though I tend to denounce them on principle. It's not that state standards are bad, its that they are too broad and lack a unifying vision and philosophy to guide the educational enterprise. But with an independent philosophy and vision in hand, I find it can be helpful to consult them to see if I've inadvertently omitted anything of value.<br /><br />Cheers!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10026656418305395243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497833300180395942.post-10198364079129065012010-07-25T12:34:54.205-07:002010-07-25T12:34:54.205-07:00Here's one that we do: Draw a large shopping c...Here's one that we do: Draw a large shopping cart pushed by a small stick figure on a piece of paper. Have the child cut out items from your grocery flier and glue them in the cart using a glue stick. You could put this in the manual dexterity or health/fitness category.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755409743663150850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6497833300180395942.post-76254627877839618402010-07-24T12:27:46.297-07:002010-07-24T12:27:46.297-07:00What a great idea!

Nathaniel will be in school 4 days a week this fall so I've been looking forward to some 1 on 1 time with Abby--this Kleenex box might work for us. I'll probably put in things like bake muffins, have a tea party, fold laundry, and make jewlery. <br />JessJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488354073933115612noreply@blogger.com
