4 Ever Learning: Guts of a Pencil Sharpener
http://iam4everlearning.blogspot.com/2011/08/guts-of-pencil-sharpener_17.html
Wednesday, August 17, 2011. Guts of a Pencil Sharpener. Our pencil sharpener bit the dust this week. This is a bad thing because we sharpen about twelve pencils a day around here. We are currently handling this task with a cheapo hand sharpener from Walmart, not satisfactory. Erik decided to break into the contraption and see if it could be repaired. No luck. Erik wasn't able to fix it so we got to tinker with it. Woo Hoo! I love a good hands on project! Posted by Team Tindle. Take a button for Anna.

Tuesday, July 26, 2011. Spanish for Kids: Colors. Team Tindle is studying Spanish as a second language this year. This is a new thing for all of us and we are doing our best, slowly moving through a new vocabulary. This week the kids are working on their Spanish numbers and colors. I decided to throw in an art activity to help cement the new words. Then we peeled back the tape, very slowly and carefully. This made the different sections really pop. The kids loved the reveal!

Monday, November 29, 2010. Every Monday around here is deemed catch up day. It is the day when we return from our weekend bliss and get back to the business of everyday life.
