I’m so excited to kick off the first offi­cial WW! After receiv­ing my first com­ment to the post about Watch­tower Wednes­day, I real­ized (QUICKLY) that that may be too restric­tive.  To only use Watch­tower mag­a­zines?  When the Awake! mag­a­zine is extremely resource­ful, too!  AND… the awe­some pub­li­ca­tions that are at our dis­posal… So, with ALL that […]

It’s called Spelling City. It […]

Vocab­u­lary nutri­tion calo­ries vit­a­mins healthy food pyra­mid fruits veg­eta­bles grain meat/protein dairy Name the 5 food groups – Each group has a dif­fer­ent color, so we used 5 dif­fer­ent col­ors of con­struc­tion paper. Cat­e­go­rize foods Cut […]

It’s been a short while since I’ve posted our progress, so I fig­ured I’d share today. We’re learn­ing about the Food Pyra­mid, and how you should have a food from EACH group with EACH meal. This is, I hope, a start to eat­ing bet­ter as a fam­ily. The girls have become mini-food detec­tives. They eval­u­ate everything […]
