We have been fighting a cold recently...and as we have already started wrapping up the "official" school year I figured we might as well take some sick time. This time off looks different in every home schooling house but here it means lots of reading, board games, iPad apps, documentaries and art.
Evidence- my very crowded coffee table...
Some of our favourites this week include....
These are lovely retellings of the legends of the Haida people of British Columbia.
It is a fantastic read aloud and the kidlets love it!
We love this card game... dice, beautifully illustrated cards and strategy!
A cooperative deck building game about Harry Potter?!? We are all in.... we could play this for hours and with multiple card decks based on year, this game gets more complicated and challenging each time you play! Best news... everyone works together to defeat the villains!!
We just recently discovered this game... fantasy, cute pets, cool landscapes, battle and math problems... the kidlets have curled up on the couch and played away... no asking for Minecraft this week!
For those really lazy, sick afternoons.... pop some popcorn and a cool drink and discover another part of our planet....
We attempt art.... sometimes and usually half hearted (mostly on my part!) but no more! This website has free art lessons for kinder to grade 5, there are easy to do, easy to follow and I've been impressed with what the kidlets have done so far! And did I mention free?!?!
Sometimes it feels like we learn more when we are sick?!?!?
What does everyone else do when they are feeling under the weather?
