Little moments
Leave it to a homeschooling mom to turn a broken arm into a mini unit study on the skeleton.
We put together a skeleton and learned what bones she broke, (there are 3 broken bones). We looked at the structure of the human arm and compared other animal’s arm structures.
Art project
this is what art looks like with kids 8 years old and under. Messy! Snacks are involved!
We just happened to pull fresh bread out of the oven to enjoy.
Bees wax candle rolling
We have been enjoying rolling candles, using a kit from a child’s dream. The kids have made something like 30?
Okay, let’s be honest, we finished the whole kit in less than 24 hours. But we had a blast doing it.
First week of homeschooling
This week was spectacular! We had many games, projects, outdoor time, and still managed to squeeze in many hours of reading practice for everyone.
…#homeschool mess!
My favourite moment of the week was a scavenger hunt we did, to learn about safety around electricity. The hunt culminated with popcorn! We are doing the Good and the Beautiful Safety unit to kick off our new school year. It covers a lot, however, most of the teaching is done through games and fun activities.
Caleb’s new favourite way to practice spelling is dry erase markers on the window.
One rainy afternoon, the girls decided to build forts.
We did a lot of watercolour painting this week!
