The boys elementary school has lots of family theme nights. Last week was Literacy Night, full of all kinds of ideas to engage your kiddos with reading. They showed up some great websites (like Starfall on our sidebar) and the boys had fun being on the internet by themselves.
They had lots of craft and art projects to get the kids interested in letters and reading. One room was dedicated to Harry Potter, which makes me think we'll have to go back to those books at some point. We tried the first one, but the boys thought it was too scary. I wonder if now that we've done Moongobble and Me, they'd be more into it.
They opened up the science lab, showing the kids that part of science is reading about experiements and reading the explainations of things. Bayley was all about the science room. I think it's his whole reason for wanting to get to 6th grade. If we had a bigger house, we'd get him a microscope. He'd never watch TV again if he had a microscope...
