"I" is for Ice Cream

Ok. Ice cream is another one of those things I love but how can I justify ice cream as a topic on a homeschool resource blog?   Hmmmm.

Well, according to Houston Examiner, today, April 12th is Tax Day and from noon to 8p.m. Ben & Jerry's are having a free cone day. Here, it is a beautiful spring day and I would recommend a field trip to the park or a nature hike followed with a treat from Ben & Jerry's. Only problem is we don't have a Ben & Jerry's anywhere nearby. :(

However, I did find a few educational resources based on ice cream! Maybe, we should make some ice cream. I like that idea!
