School year

Homeschooling has been going really well this year. I love it. Most days. And my kids love it. Most days. I have one that wants to read all day long, one that doesn't want to do school whatsoever (unless its art time) and wants to play sports all day long, one that really wants to just know how to read the big, large books right away and skip all the basics (ya know, picking up big novels and wanting to read them when she's only newly six and still reading simple stories!), and one that loves to color, say his colors, and his shapes. It's such a blessing to be home with my kids. Here are some highlights so far this year:

Homeschool science fair. We had a great time experimenting. Best experiment at the science fair was a Lego Robotics Mindstorm thing - pretty amazing - and creepy. 

Art museum field trips. We've gone three times this year - to two different art museums. Culture. It's so good. We also joined the Nature and Science museum and we've definitely gotten our moneys worth! 

Field trip to Kong. Here's D in front of the huge Kong at the entrance.

P.E. Here's H doing pull ups at home one wintry day. One of the best Christmas gifts ever - a pull up bar! And more outside winter PE - pulling brother on his sled. We do a lot of soccer around here, too.

Art. My all time fave to teach.

Reading in our jammies. Pretty much my other all time favorite.

Some of the best books we've read this school year. 

That's it for now. We'll be over here learning. Hope you are enjoying your year, too! I'm closing out with a pretty interesting graphic. Until next time!
