Welcome to the AfterSchool Party!

Little J is learning about the skeletal system in school. They are learning some basic functions and names of bones. We had some fun with this on Talk Like a Pirate Day too. You can see the skeleton game we played here.
I found this skeleton at Michael's and Little J painted him with glow in the dark paint. I know it's not anatomically correct, but it is a fun way to name some bones and talk about them!

He used a sharpie marker to write the names of the bones on the other side of the skeleton. It's hanging on his floor lamp in his room...it's pretty cool to see at night.

So, from skeletons to hearts...Sassyfras had friendship week and a special friendship fair. They were paired up with a friend for the fair and she made a felt lavender fill heart to take to her. It was her first experience with hand sewing.

Juiciness's class is talking about emotions and they are doing some interesting things in his class that I'll share more later this week. They're using a program called Second Step.

I will have to look for that skeleton. Collin will love that!
Love the glow in the dark skeleton!!!
This skeleton is very cool. I am sure my daughter will love this skeleton unit when she gets there. I wish they had more science in school, but she has an afterschool science class now.
Thanks for the linky party. Good posts!
What a fun idea! This is the perfect craft for my 1st grader. Thanks for sharing!
What a fun idea, Kelly! This would be great for many ages. I featured your post in my Montessori-Inspired Skeleton Unit at http://livingmontessorinow.com/2012/10/22/montessori-monday-montessori-inspired-skeleton-unit/
