Where is your milk from?

Incidentally, Tinkerbell is only seconds away from letting out a huge steamy load that caused most of the kids to run screaming from the tent.  He'll be talking to his therapist about this for years. 
Check out this web site.  It is called "Where is my milk from?"  You find the code from your carton, and the site does the rest.  AMAZING.  You can actually check out where all your dairy products come from!

Free games for kids ages 2-6 from ABCMouse

Q: What exactly does ABCmouse.com teach?

ABCmouse.com: Full Online Preschool - Kindergarten


A: ABCmouse.com’s comprehensive curriculum includes these preschool, pre-k and kindergarten subjects:

Reading(the alphabet, phonics, sight words, children’s books)
Math (numbers, shapes, patterns, measurement)
The World Around Us (basic science and social studies)
Art and Music (drawing and coloring, tracing, paint-by-numbers, children’s songs, and more)

Reading
Learning to read is one of the most important steps your child can take towards being successful in school. ABCmouse.com’s online reading curriculum includes everything beginning readers need to learn, from recognizing letters to reading simple stories. Our unique step-by-step learning path carefully guides children from one level of reading skill to the next, starting with the alphabet and gradually moving on to phonics, sight words and beginning readers. All along the way children will discover a rich collection of children’s books and children’s songs to help develop their vocabulary and improve their ability to relate the sounds of words to how they look on the page.

Math
The most important objective of ABCmouse.com’s online math curriculum is to teach children to recognize numbers and to relate number symbols to the amount that they stand for. Our large collection of online math games for children offer lots of opportunities to learn and practice numbers. The curriculum also includes many online math activities that teach children about simple shapes, as well as activities that teach children about patterns and basic concepts of measurement.

The World Around Us
ABCmouse.com’s World Around Us curriculum is designed to help children understand and communicate about the things they see and experience every day. In schools, this material is usually taught as part of social studies, science, and health.

The World Around Us curriculum starts with things that are close to your child and moves outward. Thus, the preschool curriculum teaches your child about getting dressed, the parts of the body and face, and about family members. In the pre-k curriculum, that view expands to the market, sports, and weather and seasons. Our kindergarten World Around Us curriculum introduces your child to the Earth and its features, as well as the sun and the moon.

Art and Music
ABCmouse.com introduces children to the world of art and colors through more than 200 online children’s art activities that feature a new drawing and painting program designed especially for young children. We also offer more than a thousand pages of drawing, coloring, tracing, and art activities that can be printed out as printables to be used offline.

Because children learn in different ways, this curriculum is designed not only to develop your child’s visual art skills, but also to teach or reinforce learning in language arts, math, science, and social studies.

The wide variety of children’s songs on the site—both traditional and original—allows your child to experience the building blocks of music: melody, harmony, rhythm, and lyrics. And ABCmouse.com offers songs about many different subjects—such as the alphabet, counting, and animals—that teach information in a way that is easy for your child to remember.
