I wanted to get in one more post of our school adventures before all the holiday posts start rolling in-so here's a whirlwind of pictures of our last 8 weeks!
ART:
 |
| A Still Life |
 |
| Painting |
 |
Annalise still talks about this. She proudly points to the picture on the fridge and says " I paint that Daddy" We have given it the title Fall Frenzy
A Study on the book The Bee Tree by Patricia Polacco
|
 |
| We caught a bee! We feed him some honey and felt the container vibrate as he beat his wings! |
 |
| Then we labeled the parts of the bee on a worksheet. |
 |
| We found other bugs and determined if they were insects or not. This katydid IS an insect, the millipede we found IS NOT! |
 |
| Then we had to eat bugs-the peanut butter bees were my favorite! |
Geography:
 |
| We instruct our humpback whales as well! |
Letters:
To make reading a fun time, I would write Amelia a note every night and the next morning she would read it and obey! She loved it-she would ask for her note first thing!
 |
| I'm not sure Cosby loved it! :) |
P.E./ Motor Skills:
 |
| Doesn't everyone climb trees for P.E.? |
 |
| Walking a straight line is easy for the gymnast, but a challenge for the 1 year old. |
 |
| Simon Says |
 |
| Fine Motor Skills-and so Tasty Too! |
 |
| Guilty Pleasure-I love the dizzy bat-I love watching other people do the dizzy bat! |
Math: I don't take a lot of pictures of our math activities!
 |
| Abby got to be a part of this math problem. |
Field Trips:
 |
| Amelia likes to be the photographer. We are at the zoo in this picture, but I didn't choose the photo because it showed the zoo, but because I think it's a great picture! |
 |
| Historic Brattonsville-A Revolutionary Time Era Plantation |
 |
| We visited with our mommies group! |
 |
| Another Amelia photo. One benefit of the homeschool schedule is that we can alter our class around family visits. A morning walk at Kings Mountain with the great-grandparents was a great educational experience! Amelia got to learn her nation's history as well as her family's-Great-Grandma Marny is known for her story telling! |
A Study on
The Glorious Flight by Alice and Martin Provensen:
 |
| Paper Airplanes off the deck of course! |
A Study on
Cranberry Thanksgiving by Wende and Harry Devlin:
 |
| We loved this story! |
 |
| We also loved making and eating the bread! |
