A gift from the grandparents

When Patrick's parents asked the kids what they wanted for Christmas, the kids said a dvd boxset, like the previous year. We had a great time watching the series of Les Mystérieuses Citées d'Or all year long. I had gotten the kids two boxsets too; one on life and the other on the human. They watched a few episodes almost every single day. Patrick too. Anyway, when it came time to decide which boxsets they wanted, they asked for more of those. We should get these two sometime this week:



I saved 20$ because I ordered two. And since I was ordering anyway (I get free shipping on orders over 75$), I decided to get two dvds on space:



There are 27 dvds in this series, all about space. It goes into details on a variety of subjects, all related to space. I know the kids (and us) will enjoy watching them and learning. Now, I will need to start putting together a unit on space. For Christmas, I got these for the kids, as their 24th of December gifts:

The rainbow for the girls:



The moon for Zachary:



And the Star Theatre for William:



Mathieu got a toy that makes music and a little light show but I cannot find a picture of it.

They loved going to sleep looking at their new gifts. And I think we can use them to learn too.
