Week 4

Nathan learned about the letter T this week.  I saw his tongue peeking out a lot this week so he must be working hard!  :)  Working on his tree:

Sorting and graphing different kinds of transportation:

Adding teeth to our mouth (and eating a few "teeth", too!):

Brushing eggs after we soaked them in different kinds of liquids to show the effect on our teeth:

Finally, making a triangle after we watched The Greedy Triangle on youtube.  :)  He loved his little triangle guy!!

I usually give the kids a coloring sheet in the morning to work on while we go through our morning together time.  Hunter LOVES this time and works hard on coloring his sheet so I took his picture.  :)

In Konos this week, we talked about Animal Classification.  We gathered some stuffed animals to sort and Nathan joined right in!

 Making animal masks (Samuel refused to participate so he has no picture--since it was just a craft, I didn't force it since we save those battles for the 3 R's):

On Friday, we got outside to do some work:

Samuel and I played a phonics game this week and he beat me 3x so he was thrilled (and no, I didn't let him win!).  You can also see his glasses--he seems to enjoy wearing them for school!

We had a field trip to Old Macdonald's Farm this week since we were learning about animals.  This goat loved the attention!!

We got to see some ducks swim underwater and that seemed to be a thrill!  It was a beautiful day!!

Today, we had a homeschool family fun day to attend. I love this picture because it captures their personalities so well--ha!

So far, so good with this school year.  Samuel was sick one day this week but he actually got his schoolwork done before he felt ill so that worked out.  The twins said their 'Plastics and Goo' class was hard this week but they were excited to bring home crystals.  We are getting things done and I think we are making progress, too.
