Homeschool

I was so inspired by a friend of mine's blog that I am going to try to keep up with this one on a more regular basis. :)

This year is our first "official" year homeschooling & we all LOVE it! We are all learning SO much! We are on our third unit study now. We just got done with our study of pumpkins & finished off the study with a field trip to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm. This was our first time going to this farm & we thought it was the biggest, best one we've ever seen. They make homemade pies from the pumpkins they grow. We brought home a pumpkin walnut pie-so yummy:)

We are now studying apples, how they grow, pollination process...etc.
We cut open an apple the other day & sort of dissected it only to find that it only had 2 little seeds inside. I thought there would've been a lot more...


N is learning to read small 3 letter words. C has mastered basic reading & is getting into the more difficult reading. C's handwriting has improved. N can write her name (sometimes with a backward letter or two:)
I really like our math curriculum. I wish my math would've been this much fun when I was a kid.
Science is a Creation based book full of colorful pictures & songs to help remember facts.

We spent all day socializing with other homeschooled kids & will be spending most of the day tomorrow with the group on a fun fieldtrip.
This group of kids is so great too. A couple weeks ago one of the kids (who was a little older) reminded N to say please when she asked him for his ball.:) I love that the older kids are basically mentoring the younger ones. We all need to do that for eachother. Use our special talents & gifts to come beside others (without judgement) & help.

Well need to go finish dinner...:)
