These girls are growing by leaps and bounds!

Weekly Homeschool Update

The girls got a wild hair and starting creating these little books from my leftover paper stash.

They wrote fun facts and illustrated them in the cutest little them books!

They got their Draw Write Now, Book 1: On the Farm-Kids and Critters-Storybook Characters and copied the facts and drawings on cows and turkeys.

They made little St. Patrick’s Day books all on their own with info about leprechauns and rainbows.

Making Books
I just love how they planned this project all on their own. It wasn’t an assignment. They really applied their learning! I love times like these!
We have lots of paper and craft scraps lying around for the girls to use in free play. They got so creative making them into these little books about what they learned.

Food fun! The girls graphed marshmallows from Lucky Charms cereal.

I finally printed math journals.

Katie wasn’t interested this week and I won’t push it. yet. I had these all ready and just set them aside and forgot about them! Tori just loved it. I will do one page each month with a theme.
Here are January’s shapes snowflake and February’s Valentine cookies. We also did gold coins for March’s leprechaun. The ideas are from Jazzy Journals.

The girls are slowly working through Artistic Pursuits Grades K-3 Book 1 An Introduction to Visual Arts.

This week, we drew a picture from a photograph.

I pulled out some old photos and we looked at them and Tori chose one of me at age 4.

Katie chose an adorable pic of her sister, Elizabeth, as a baby in an Easter bonnet. My main focus for Tori is confidence in her drawing. She is such a perfectionist that she gets paralyzed.

I have really enjoyed seeing the girls learn this month.

They have grown leaps and bounds and can read and write so well – all of a sudden!

We read about Alexander the Great and the beginnings of Rome in history.
We’re almost finished with our astronomy study in science. We read about the outer planets. We’ll do the Earth and Moon this week.

    I love that they made their own books, all on their own! They turned out great! I find my 5 year old starting to do this too (on a smaller scale!). It’s so cute!
