Climbing the slide with a rope.
The boys have really loved the warm weather lately - they absolutely love playing outside on the swing set. Matthew rigged up a rope from the swing set fort to the deck, and tied a bucket onto the rope. They send messages up and down the rope - Nolan doesn't write much yet, but he can send written numbers!
Nolan writes the number "2."
I love watching them play in this way. They learn so much and write more than they ever do in school. They enjoy this so much more than writing on worksheets. It isn't structured, but it is a very natural way for young children to learn.
Matt hooks up his message box.
I am looking forward to the two month summer vacation where my little guys can play (and learn) to their hearts' content!
