Make Life Meaningful Monday

This past Friday, I promised myself I would do something spontaneous with the kids.  After math and other subjects were completed, I headed with the kids to the library.  I LOVE the library!  I remember as a kid having no problem plopping down in a chair with a book and just delving in!

It is such an expression of each of their interests when they are allowed to choose their own books.  Kiddo #4 picked out books on pigs (remember her favorite stuffed friend "Pigie?") and lions (since the animals we are working on in her science are the big cats), Kiddo #3 selected elephant books (he loves anything elephant), Kiddo #2 selected books on dinosaurs and sea life (his favorite are octopus and squid) and Kiddo #1 chose airplanes.  The Clifford book, as cute as it was, didn't belong to us.  It just happened to be on the table.  :-)

 

Spending time together is the most meaningful part of everyday to me, but I found a way to make this an educationally meaningful day, as well, lol! (always a homeschooling mama!)  The kiddos were given a choice to make either a written report or a Power Point presentation on their books.  I can't wait to see what they come up with!  :-)

I am linking up today with Michelle at Changed by the Maker for her Make Life Meaningful Monday linkup.  Come over and share how your day was made more meaningful!
