off the hook...

I initially planned on Math games/activities for next week. I came up with nothing... I was "saved by the bell" just now. The owner of the Martial Arts school decided to add another week to Karate Camp! They've had a great week, so they are looking forward to another!

As for the math, I am working it into the daily activities:

• asking them to cut and or divide things
• count the towels I am folding
• tell the time
• #2 helped count the change at the grocery store
• #1 got to count my stitches as the doctor took them out
• measuring ingredients while we cook

I am also going to try to work math into the rest of the Daddy Day camp activities.

Karate Camp!

This week, the b0ys will spend their mornings with their karate instructors. They will be doing plenty of karate, but they will also play other games/sports and work on sportsmanship. Each participant will get a trophy at the end of the week. I'll have to make room on the mantle next to their other 6 trophies from the tournament! I hear it was a rough morning getting them going, but I know they'll LOVE it!

It gives me a break to plan for next week too. Math week doesnt' sound too exciting, but I'm hoping they do'nt notice that they are learning math... maybe we'll start with ractios? They both get the concept of multiplication, so it may be a good time to introduce division (and that is all that fractions are).
