Hurry to the Discovery Cube OC - Winter Wonderfest is on for a limited time.

For a limited time, the Discovery Cube is offering the science of snow, "Winter Wonderfest." Go tubing down a 70 foot slope, play in the snow, go sledding, learn snow science and so much more under one roof. I should warn you that you will need snow gear: gloves, hat, warm clothing and closed toe shoes to play in the snow. If you forget your gloves just run to the store inside the Cube and purchase them. The Winter Wonderfest is only $5.00 plus the purchase of general admission. You can play in the snow from December 19th through January 3rd. It is a great way to experience the science of snow with the family.

We received a chance to experience the science of snow at Discovery Cube Winter Wonderfest during media day. Our kids were so in love with the 70 foot slope and the snow sledding. We could not get them to take a break. The experience made them feel as though they were far away from the big city on top of a mountain. My husband was a big kid too. We all had fun sledding and snow tubing. The day was very memorable for all of us.

We spent most of the morning playing outside. Sledding and tubing brought such joy to our kids that we stayed until they were exhausted. We cancelled all other plans for that day and played at the Discovery Cube Winter Wonderfest until the early afternoon. We were all tired, but extremely happy.

This winter break visit the Discovery Cube and experience a whole lot of fun in the snow. Inside the Cube, The Hot Wheels exhibit will make the kids want to see under the hood of a car. Stop by the Science of the Gingerbread to build a car out of candy and graham crackers. Stop for a quick bite at the Bean Sprout restuarant while you take a quick rest. After your healthy eating experience, continue exploring over 100 hands-on interactive exhibits that promote fun and educational value. Both you and your children will enjoy a memorable day at the Discovery Cube.

Happy Holidays,

State Testing and a letter of encouragement

State Testing CCSS SBAC is starting next week for our area. This semester, my son's fourth grade teacher has asked that I write him a letter of encouragement. She gave us a few weeks notice. I have, in the past few days, written a few handwritten notes of encouragement. Then, I would wake up the next day realizing that it was not loving enough and second guessing myself. This task has been a little hard for me. Then, the final email reminder came from the teacher. It read as follow: "This is just a friendly reminder to please send a letter of encouragement to your student to be opened this coming Monday, May 1. Students will be given the letters prior to taking their first test." Oh my goodness, I have to get it done!!! So, I put on my big girl pants and re-wrote the letter for the 5th time. This time, I made it classroom friendly and left out lots of the I love you's and all the mushy stuff I had written before. The letter went something like this: ...

How to make a California Mission Model.

Learn how to make a California Mission Model at home or in the classroom. We made this project as part of the California Public School Fourth grade requirement in a group setting. Continue to read on to get the supply list and instructions for a successful mission model. On an ordinary day, I was reminded how amazing kids really are when there are no limits. Just as equally amazing are the teachers who guide them and teach them everyday. I am very thankful for the opportunity that I was given as a parent volunteer. The day was like a beautiful dance where parents, teachers and students came together for a common goal. The goal was to make models of California Missions from a simple picture and lots of cardboard. I can honestly say the goal was reached and everyone deserved an "A".

Field Trip to Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament - Buena Park

My family and I were invited to Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament for an afternoon of entertainment. I want to tell you about our journey into the Middle Ages via Medieval Times. It began at the will-call window with the kind clerk suggesting we visit their museum for a small fee. We said yes immediately to exploring their Middle Ages Museum called “The Museum of Torture”. It sounded interesting and educational to see Medieval exhibits. As we headed to the museum, a women dressed in traditional Middle Ages attire adorned all of us with blue crowns. We were assigned Don Alberto Del Mau as our Knight for the tournament. This meant we would have to cheer and support our Knight into battle. Don Alberto Del Mau is a young squire who is renowned as a champion of the defenseless. Armed with this knowledge, we set out to visit the Museum of Torture. Inside the museum, we realized that living in the Middle ages was a terrible time for all who crossed Royalty. ...
