Playful Learning

I came across this website and just had to share.  There are so many wonderful, wonderful things to explore on her site, but this particular link includes so many great things for all subjects - check it out!

Through the Looking Glass

Dale Chihuly, a glass-blower from Seattle, is exhibiting his work this summer at the Museum of Fine Arts until Aug. 7. The gallery features amazingly vibrant works, from looming spiked glass towers to a room with a ceiling completely covered with Chihuly's art (pictured).  And did you know you can get in really cheap?  Sawyer Free Library and Manchester-by-the-Sea Public Library (among others) offer several museum and activity passes.  


Also, did you know that if you have a Gloucester library card you can link it to other libraries so you can have access to those as well?  We have ours linked with Manchester because we love it so much.


Visit the linked sites above to see what passes are available!

Math Activity

This morning a little inspiration struck as I bent to pick up the 7th random domino that had crept under foot.  Why not put a strip of magnet on the back and turn them into a magnet game for the fridge?  I know we do not have the complete set to play the game the correct way, and what child doesn't love magnets?  Now, we can play with them, working to match the colored dots or the number of dots.  I'm sure we could think up other activities to do with them too.  Any thoughts?
