Pacific Science Center in Seattle

Hello everyone!

Our family to the Pacific Science Center in Seattle today! My son loved it. We try to go to take out son to different places every weekend. Since we live an hour away from Seattle by ferry boat we decided to take a trip to the big city.

I thought my son would like the dino exhibit. Not so much. He was fine looking at it from a distance but when we went inside he was a little hesitant. So we opted for the butterfly exhibit. He was getting a little tired but when we went in there he completely calmed down and loved watching all the different butterflies. He was thrilled to watch them eat the fruit. It was great that he could see them up close and most importantly he was talking!

He also enjoyed the bubble wall. He had great fun blowing to see if he could pop the wall! All in all it was a fun trip and he learned alot about science! I would highly suggest the Pacific Science Center to anyone who has children!

I have a butterfly life cycle flannel board set for sale on etsy and soon on ebay! This would go along great with the butterfly exhibit! Check it out on www.teachablemoment.etsy.com or on www.ebay.com store name teachablemoment!

Life Cycle Flannel Board Sets

Hello everyone!
I just made three new life cycle flannel board sets! They are perfect to teach children about how a frog, butterfly, and chicken evolve. I will be making a few others to go along with the new theme. I will keep you posted! You can check them out on www.teachablemoment.etsy.com. They are reasonably priced! Sure to be a hit for your classroom. I will post a pic later so you can see what they look like!

Gross Motor Training

I just wanted to let everyone know that I went to a wonderful training about gross motor and obesity in children. It was put on by Head Start. There are such wonderful things that you can do with children to get them moving and they don't even know it!

By incorporating music about healthy foods and movement you can cover all areas of the spectrum. They are learning about math, literacy, nutrition, science, dramatic play and most importantly gross motor.

I was so excited about the training that I came home and tried the music out on my 3 year old son! He marched for a half hour and didn't tire of it. Then we did the freeze dance and he thought that he was stopping the music and was proud of himself! Every day after that he keeps asking to dance!

It was a very worth while training! Now I am trying to help my son get an hour of vigorous exercise play a day! It definitely helps with him going to sleep!
