Jack and Jill Nursery Rhyme

I am very boring today. I don't have a whole lot to say. It seems to be a Wednesday thing LOL. Those of you who are teaching your kiddos nursery rhymes, Jack and Jill is in the video below. If you have Netflix, and a Wii you can watch certain instant videos through the Wii, on your TV. We will be utilizing this in the very near future for the Lewis and Clark educational video that Netflix offers. You do need a special disc, which cost us nothing to get. If you do not have a Wii, but have Netflix, you can watch the instant videos on your computer as well. We recorded from the History Channel, The Story of Us, and we will be watching that in the near future as well. We have completed almost all of our curriculum, and workbooks. So I am always looking for new educational sites, to fill in the spaces until June. I don't want to start next years workbooks yet.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Bullying Question

I don't have a lot to say today. I know it is hard to believe. Below is another nursery rhyme for all your young kids to enjoy. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is the name, and I am sure you are most aware of it. DJ has completed his language arts book, and is on his last reading book.

I want to ask a question from all my mom readers. Who do you think should be responsible for bullying the child, parents, or the school? There is a reason I am asking, and I will post my whole thoughts tomorrow.

Habitats For Rabbits, Mary Had A Little Lamb

Today I am featuring the nursery rhyme, Mary Had A Little Lamb, and the habitat for rabbits. These will be used for Caitlin starting next week. I finished DJ's third semester report card, last night, he did awesome! As you know I do not grade Caitlin's work, but will start next year, in first grade. The only grade DJ actually went down in, or didn't stay the same, was Social Studies. Mostly because we watched a lot of videos from History Channel that were not graded.

London Bridge Is Falling Down, Animal Habitat Frogs

One of the things I have really put off with Caitlin, as part of her kindgarten curriculum, is nursery rhymes. I really don't care for nursery rhymes, so I have been putting it off. All this week, since we are on vacation, I am compiling nursery rhyme videos for when we start again. The first one is London Bridge is Falling Down. Also, Caitlin has finished her animal book, so now she will start to learn about their habitats. The first one on the list is frogs. Of course frogs live in many habitats, and ecosystems, so watch the video below to learn some more about frogs, and their habitats. Have fun, and have a great Sunday.
