Not much going on here. Just kind of laying around, soaking up the sun. How about you?

Funky, but functional

This has been a big project for me, but I finally got my home-made version of the Montessori grammar box materials done. Whew! I decided that rather than the traditional series of 8 individual boxes to present each of the parts of speech, I only really need the last box (or at least something similar [...]
Montessori detective adjective with a twist

Lately I have been thinking JBug is about ready to begin exploring some of the Montessori grammar materials. I can’t afford to purchase them ($$$), so I am making my own versions. I’ve been working on the grammar box materials and I am almost ready to share them, but in the mean time I want [...]

This is entirely too cool! So, I was reading a post at the always-inspiring blog the moveable alphabet. The beginning of the post was about magnets, which we’ve kinda done to death, but at the end, there was a link to this: The-Hunt-for-Micrometeorites which I showed to JBug and we were both blown away at [...]
Under the sea (and not underfoot)

Poor JBug. Superboy is gone for the rest of the summer and though we all miss him, I think she is suffering the most. After all, her number one person to pester companion has briefly escaped is taking some time away and left her with no one to annoy play with. So, in order to [...]
Seems like old times

We’ve had company and it seems like old times around here lately: The dynamic duo, JBug and Squirt, having some quality puzzle-time together. The two of them were inseparable for days! I drug out JackJack’s Montessori materials and he obviously missed them! He was so excited to get his hands on them again and spent [...]

Turn out the light, folks, the party is over. 8th grade is done. 9th grade begins. It’s now High school! And everyone knows this means it’s time to finally get serious once-and-for-all.

We finally got a look at the face behind our eerie night-time serenade and he is a real beauty: and surprisingly big, too! Here is a picture with Superboy’s hand for scale: Tokay Gecko (Gekko gecko) The Tokay Gecko is native to Asia, but like many other tropical animals has been introduced to Florida and [...]
