After having studied four different Math Laws, I wanted to put it all together into one sheet so I can review with the kids.

Our snack idea for this week is super easy, simple and the kids can do it with your help. We used vanilla yogurt for the white clouds and then I added a little bit of blue food coloring to make the cumulonimbus cloud a little darker. It doesn’t show well on the picture, but the [Read On]

I guess my brain never stops working, even when I am asleep. On Saturday night I had a dream that the kids and I were reviewing the weather fronts and we were using colorful ribbons to represent the weather fronts. I kid you not… when I woke up I thought to myself: That is a [Read On]
