Spring Nature Walk (april 10, 2017)

A beautiful spring day. I am braving the scattered rain showers and hanging my laundry out. We enjoyed a ramble in the pasture this morning, exploring and catching some sort of tadpole eggs. We shall have to do some research into them!

Billy and Blaze

Jem is slowing reading this book, a page a day.

Community Study

Over the last week, besides phonics and math, Jem has been making a community map. We drew out roads and Jem named them. He gave me a list of places in a community that he wanted on his map. Fire Station, Airport, Gym, Church, Library, Police, Hospital, Grocery Store ect...

I also read the story 'Tashira's Turn' out loud to the children, and they enjoyed hearing how each person in Tashira's town helped others.  And in the end it is Tashira's turn to help!

Sunday Play

What happens when Daddy plays Duplo with the kids...

Carrot cake

Jem made carrot cake. He found the recipe page number, read the measurements with some help and did most of the rest on his own! He really enjoyed serving it up to the family. It was so good!

Quick look at Monday morning schooling (jan.9)

'Computer time' after his school work is completed. His favorite game is matching capital and lower case letters.

Some samples of his phonics,

And math,

And a reading page he did today with very little help.

Visit to the Library on Christmas Eve

Daddy was sick and i had to get out of the house! So i braved the crazy and took all the kids out. This is their first time playing at the library so they really enjoy themselves and it was great to get out and about.
