Fun Fridays...

This week's fun site... www.montereybayaquarium.org/efc/efc_splash/splash_cam.aspx
The Monterey Bay Aquarium has the neatest web cams for several of their exhibits. The one of the bay is so relaxing to watch, but Gabby loves the penguins. It's not the same as actually visiting an aquarium, but still fun to watch.

This week's site is...

This site has recipes for making a bunch of different craft supplies. I can't wait to make my own bubbles and sidewalk chalk for the summer.

Fun Fridays...

This week's fun site is definitely on the fun side...
www.a2zhomeschool.com/homeschoolmouse
While not really all that useful unless planning a trip to Disney, this site is really fun to explore. It sure makes me want to move to Orlando and spend everyday "teaching" at Disney World. I will definitely use some of these ideas on our next vacation.

Fun Fridays...

Since it is finally summer (according to me, summer starts the first day of June), I decided to share a site that is more fun than educational...
www.commonsensemedia.org
It's neat site that allows parents and kids to rate media. Everything from the latest TV shows and summer movies to music, games, and my favorite...books!!! I have to admit I am always reading children books. And teen/young adult novels have been keeping me entertained recently (I guess because I never have the time to finish an adult novel lately). Hopefully you can find some good entertainment to keep your kids busy this summer.
