Looking Back at Week 2
Thought I’d post about some of the other things that happened during this week. Mostly pictures with a few notes mixed in. Thought it would be fun to combine our drawing exercise with our Nature Study Subject. Goal was to use all 5 elements of shape to create a butterfly. We used pastels and construction [...]

Mid-week Thoughts
It is only Wednesday and it has already been a full week! Jessie invented a “guitar”, painted it and explained it herself here. Too cute! This is all out-of-the-blue with no prompting or help.

Weekly Review: Weeks 9 & 10

Weekly Review: Week 8
Here we are at the end of the first quarter. I really can’t believe how fast time has flown. We did a lot of wrap up this week. I’m ashamed of how little I did with the Vikings segment. I had such grand plans! Thursday evening I stayed up late to get together one last [...]

Weekly Review: Week 7
Behind again. Or is it still? LOL! Week 7 was full of activity and learning. Most of it however was not according to plan. Tuesday had some drop dead gorgeous weather so we played hookey by eating out (at a restaurant I thought had WF pasta), rode our bikes on the Katy trail, and had [...]

Weekly Review: Week 6
Community Service: This week saw our first volunteering for the Local Humane Society. We transported two dogs to KOMU. The picture is of Sam with Creamsicle, a basset/lab mix. If we didn’t alredy have a dog OR if we had a fenced yard… well, you know. Creamsicle was so adorable and well behaved at the [...]
