Seems like days disappear before they even come to be. Time is flying so fast its unreal! Syria is full of unrest that we are praying for a quick end to. Boys are growing and learning so much! We are finding so many resources and ideas for next year I am not even sure where to quite begin!
I did find one resource today that I thought I would share for science! http://www.nature-watch.com/ Absolutely amazing!
We have also discovered http://www.criticalthinking.com/index.jsp
for general curriculum we plan to start using for the boys over the summer and into next year!
Wesam started guitar lessons and has been keeping up with his minimum of 1 hour daily practice and has nearly mastered one of the power chords from Metallicas "Enter Sandman" song!
Today Abdul Rahman and Yusef worked on finding treasures in a sensory box filled with beans and rice. I originally had it made it for the small kids to do some number recognition, but in the end even Adnan found he was loving it. They sorted black beans and garbanzo beans, found the numbers from 1-5, and even built mountains and castles. They practiced scooping, dumping, and filling. It never ceases to amaze me how much fun simple things like sensory boxes are.

Today we also played a math game with the big boys! I wonder how many of you can figure this out:
"You are given 5 beans and 4 bowls. Using all the beans, place an odd number of beans in each bowl. Explain your answer."
Good luck! And here are some pics of today!
