Whiteboard Workshop: Volcano Day- May 18
http://whiteboardworkshop.blogspot.com/2010/05/volcano-day-may-18.html
Friday, May 21, 2010. Volcano Day- May 18. We started off by watching a short, simple video. About volcanoes on How Stuff Works.com. I liked that it was not too complicated or scary! We discussed the terms volcano, magma, lava, and erupt. We reviewed the word igneous from an earlier lesson on the types of rocks. Then we did a mini-book on volcanoes from crayola.com. This seemed about the right level to approach the topic of volcanoes for the first introduction and we had a great time. Volcano Day- May 18.

Whiteboard Workshop: Encyclopedia
http://whiteboardworkshop.blogspot.com/2010/05/encyclopedia.html
Thursday, May 13, 2010. We started looking for a better picture dictionary. As we were doing this we both remembered having encyclopedia sets in our homes when we were growing up and loving to look through them. Many of our friends shared similar memories when we were discussing our delimma with them. Posted by Whiteboard Workshop. Nicole {tired, need sleep}. May 19, 2010 at 2:30 PM. What a great deal for a new set of encyclopedias! I definitely need to find something more up to date though! Amazon has h...

http://whiteboardworkshop.blogspot.com/p/profile.html
Currently I am a stay-at-home mom of two young boys. My husband and I make our home in Alabama. We enjoy the conveniences of being near a large city but live in a rural enough area that the boys see tractors working on a regular basis. I also teach younger children science and am aiming to help the homeschool community in our area by providing them with classes through our company Whiteboard Workshop. We are in the infant stage of this endeavor and very eager to see it succeed. My husband and I met in co...

Whiteboard Workshop: NASCAR DAY May 16th
http://whiteboardworkshop.blogspot.com/2010/05/nascar-day-may-16th-being-west-coaster.html
Wednesday, May 12, 2010. NASCAR DAY May 16th. NASCAR DAY May 16th. Being a west coaster I won't presume to tread on a Southern tradition. But this is a great day to Run your own race. Using the small metal toy cars and pre-made ramps or making your own you can ESTIMATE, MEASURE and AVERAGE for distance, speed and weight. Make it a Car day and learn to change a tire, check the oil and other fluids, and maybe even wash the car. Have a tail gate BBQ, Watch the movie "CARS". Posted by sun/rae mom.

Whiteboard Workshop: Donut Day - June
http://whiteboardworkshop.blogspot.com/2010/06/donut-day-june.html
Friday, June 4, 2010. Donut Day - June. I love any excuse to have a good donut so when my mom sent me this story we had to do it. (I barely got this picture before he had downed the whole thing in record time.). Here a few ideas to celebrate donut day. Check with your local donut store to see if they are participating in either giving away free donuts or donating matching funds to the Salvation Army if you buy donuts. This is also a day to discuss helping our soldiers and volunteeing. Donut Day - June.

Whiteboard Workshop: May 2010
http://whiteboardworkshop.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 28, 2010. The afternoon slump. School is finished. Lunch is over. Still 2 hours until naps. What to do? Then we hear it. Off in the distance. Coming closer. A low rumble. It is thunder? No It is the mailman (our is really loud). Yea. First he goes down the opposite side of the street and then we wait anxiously by the window for him to come back up our side. What does he have for us today? The highlight of our afternoon. Fine motor skills: opening the envelope without tearing the coupons.
