Day 25 S.T.A.R. Plan (Mon 6/18/12)
Today we implemented the STAR Plan in our house and we made some stars for all the kids to put on their bedroom doors as a visual reminder to always us the STAR plan if they have problem to solve or a decision to make.

STAR stands for Stop, Think, Act, Review. It's a four step process that can help kids solve problems or help them make decisions. It helps when they are fighting to say "STAR" and they start the process. It helps them resolve their own problems without me always having to be the bad guy or play referee.
Day 26 Angry Birds Water Ballon Toss (Tues 6/19/12)
Today was hot and we wanted to do something that involved water. We saw a similar idea to this one online, but we modified it Fritch style. We filled water balloons and drew angry bird faces on them, the the kids were the "pigs", placed strategically on wood blocks, and one kid was the designated "angry bird." The kids loved this. Afterwards we all went swimming.
