Pancake Fractions ;-)

I bet it's not new, but practicing fractions while cutting pancakes into equal pieces and then topping them with sugar, syrup, berries or whatever the favorite is truly enjoyable and also a free lesson ;-)
Also I combined preparing the batter with some practice in measuring ingredients, comparing sizes and weights... and sorry for saying it again: All practice free of charge - no expensive curriculum needed!
Perhaps I should post the recipe - Oatmeal Pumpkin Pancakes - Yummmmmm! But for now I better get back to the kitchen - the Bananabread is almost done.

All the excitement...

...doesn't seem to stop.
We went to the "Kids Commons" (Children's Museum in Columbus, Indiana) today. Once a month they open their doors for Homeschoolers at a VERY good price: Just $4.00 per child. The accompanying adult gets in for free. Special educational programs are available for different age groups. While children will attend their program, the older/younger ones can explore the museum. We loved it! And we'll be back next month.
