Livin' it up with Homeschool Days

While HC does her math pages JB creates things with the remaining blocks. HC working on her Math worksheets (these were what we used before we received Right Start).
She loves doing these.
One of the bigger rewards for her is joining JB in play after the 'work' is done.
We studied the Moon and HC made a mobile of the sun, moon and stars.
She was so proud of herself.
During our study of the Sun (I think) we put some nice plump grapes on the window sill and we made our own raisins. They finally finished becoming raisins (or at least that is the story I told the kids - I was beginning to see gnats and that is the finish line for me!).
Pretty good results huh?
Then HC created a hat like the bear in the story we read.... and she drew a picture and retold the story to me while wearing her hat.
Our last study was on leaves. HC learned about leaves and going your own way vs. going the way God wants you to go. She really enjoyed learning about each of our lessons thus far.
We read the book 'A tree is Nice' and she made a book of her own about why trees are nice.

We are finishing up our study on apples this week and then our first break of the year. We've worked hard and are due a little break from the daily grind. We've added a new math program that I LOVE!!! We are using Right Start and she absolutely LOVES it. She has really learned a bunch so far. We are learning poems in our language studies and returning to our reading. We have a full load but it is just challenging enough to push her while remaining simple enough to keep things fun! I am so pleased with this year thus far. The curriculum I found is really making our year fun - My Father's World is truly keeping HC's interest and that gives me the freedom to slip a few extras in there without her feeling burdened! More updates to come!!
