Curriculum Decision... DONE

After much prayer and research... ugh.. totally researched out I tell you we have decided to order the Sonlight P4/5 for September. We are just going to do math basics this year and start with Math U See Primer for next year Primer level. I can't tell you how excited I am about this!!!!

I plan on continuing with lapbooks on the books we will be reading and what we will be covering in the Sonlight curriculum. My daughter loves lapbooks way to much to give them up. She just loves seeing the final product.

Thrift store find...

Here is my latest thrift store find... I can't tell you how
excited I was to find this book today. And only for 25cents.
It just reminded me of my old school days.

Who knew shaving cream could be so much fun?

With a dollarstore crafting mat... nice and big
and no mess on my tables and some shaving cream
just a dab... she had so much fun.
This helps with both her sensory issues and
learning to write letters and numbers.

Here she is spreading the shaving cream all around the mat.

You can tell she is making different numbers here as she is playing.
What child doesn't like to get their hands all messed up but mom
loves the fact that it is a very easy clean up.

Got to love those hands... I had to inform her she was not to
touch mommy until after her hands were clean.

Planners

Found these at a local dollar store last week... great planbook I
purchased two one to have next year also. I love to have
everything organized so when I saw these I was really excited.

Nature Walk

We have a really cool place here locally to go for walks at.
I have to say it is one of my most favourite places to take a walk.
And what is better than a walk with a dear friend and some littles ones.

Two cuties posing in front of the house where the cookies are.
Funny children always remember where the cookies are.

One of the beautiful displays.

The goats Zohie and Yoshi. Not sure who is who but the kids like them.

I really like this guy... you could sit here just enjoying some jazz music.
Alas no jazz music playing out of the sax.

Family 1st Day

A local city had a family 1st day and they had many activities

going on a different places and the children had a passport

they could fill up and enter a draw. Anyway...

The Toy Shoppe was one of the places we really

didn't make it anywhere else as my daughter wanted

to move in there and stay in Thomas forever.

Two students in School today!!!

Just had to share my two students in school today. I haven't been as good about taking pictures while homeschooling and that must change... we have finished up our Pig lapbook and are starting on the Alphabet lapbooks... they are going to be so much fun.
