Dallas Stars

Mark took the boys to a Dallas Stars hockey game on Friday during my softball game.  They had a lot of fun! Cameron is wearing his shamrock hat that we made during school that day.  They said he got a lot of attention!

St.Patrick's 2012

I planned today's lesson around a St. Patrick's day theme. My sweet niece, Baleigh came for a visit and enjoyed the first activity today...a hunt for the leprechaun's chocolate gold coins! We had many activities, among them were 'green' bingo, leprechaun math and putting together an Ireland book. At the end, I put together a rainbow of colored rice with gold coins to play with.

Little boys

Bowling Fun

Had fun at the bowling alley with friends today.

Learning Palette

I recently discovered Learning Palettes. Love them! And the boys do too!

Boys being boys

Yes, I am aware that some people think that we just give the kids a computer and they get to play games with their friends all day when they're homeschooled.

Why yes, that is true. Ha ha ha (they wish!)

Little Red Hen

After seeing the Little Red Hen puppet show, we just had to go home and make bread!

Planet Earth

I am currently working through a lengthy school unit on space. We are doing many projects that are ongoing that I will be posting about soon.

Today, we studied planet Earth and discussed the planet's many characteristics. We built playdough models of the Earth's layers - core, mantle and crust.

A Pocket for Corduroy

I did a cute little lesson after reading this book with Cameron. We made Corduroy and he sewed on his pocket and put his name inside. He loved it and said he wants to sew when a lot more when he's older.

Geography Club - Mexico

We had a great time at geography club yesterday. Each month when we meet up, we study a different country. Each family presents an aspect about the country - government, people & culture, art & music,geography, foods, craft, game, and interesting facts. Mexico was so fun! We made maracas and had a pinata. Fun fiesta!
