Why I love to Homeschool...

I adore learning together as a family! Here's a sample of the things we've been learning...

The big kids and I made a puzzle of aluminum foil underneath the punched out holes in each index card. Then we swapped cards and discovered which holes were connected by creating a complete circuit with an aluminum foil ribbon, a battery, and a light bulb.



One of Sarah's very creative Language Arts projects. It reads: "A glass of lemonade's cold and sweet, a glass of lemonade's quite a treat."

Our "to-scale" model of the solar system. Sarah is holding Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Benjamin is holding Jupiter (which is really too small, we just didn't have enough paper, so the couch cushion had to suffice). Olivia is holding Uranus. Neptune was in the back bedroom. I was really thankful that Pluto is no longer a planet because it wouldn't have fit in the house!

Katherine gets to play with clothespins and attach them to the edge of a box for practice with fine motor skills. Recently, she came in from the porch all smiles because she had attached a row of clothespins to her dress.
