making Fridays fun

I didn't set out to make Fridays any different, but things sort of fell into place.  Isn't that the way with life--the best plans sometimes flow out of the ones we didn't mean to make?

Switch up math:
We do Business Math or Critical Thinking

Science:
Cool Stuff and How it Works--they have loved this book.  Some of the descriptions are technical, but they capture the kids' imagination and interest.

Art:
Preschool art for everyone!  We check out art books from the library and get some ideas that way, or just come up with our own.  Josiah and I have been reading about fingerprints, so that was our theme today. 

Throw in band lessons and a sometimes a trip to the library, and the day is complete.  (We do have many of the usual academics, too.)  It makes the kids look forward to Fridays!
