Weather For Kids

The kids are doing awesome, at the end of this school year. Usually it is a battle to keep them going towards the end, but this year they have done awesome. One of the things that helps is all the fun stuff we have done this year. I have incorporated into our school week a lot more fun activities, including a weekly co-op, volunteer days, 4H, and bi-weekly playdates, oh and painting class. All these things have helped to break up the monotony we call school. We also have been walking at least three days a week. This may have to taper off over the summer months because it is so unbearably hot, even in the morning hours. One of the things I want to focus more on next year, for both of them, is the weather. I am a bit of a weather geek, and would love them to learn more too. The little video below is a fun intro to the weather. I will be adding tons more of fun videos over the summer months. The leak that we had on Tuesday, did very minimal damage, praise the Lord, and my mom got one of her cars fixed, and didn't cost a small fortune. So some good news at the end of this week.
