Yesterday was a weird day. I'll save our crazy trip to Clarksville for my other blog, but I will share our homeschooling goodies here!
We continued working on our How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World lapbook. We didn't add much to our lapbook yesterday but we reviewed all of the country information we had made on Monday. We started a salt and evaporation expirement. We'll be adding those pages in the lapbook later this week.
Adisson started working on counting by fives yesterday. I think I'm going to purchse the counting by five's song by Skip Count Kid on Amazon.com. You can buy the whole album as MP3's and save over $4.00 over having the cd sent to you. I might do that instead of purchasing just one song. That way when it's time to learn how to count by other numbers I already have the songs.
We continued on with our handwriting exercise this week of writing one nice thing about each family member. Yesterday it was about Zander.
We were going to make bread yesterday but we ended up shopping last night and didn't get to, so we'll be making the bread today.
I also ordered piano lesson materials for Adisson. It's from Pianimals. They offer some samples on their website and I printed off those pages to see if Adisson liked them and he did, so I went ahead and got the A Book and the Holiday book. I know he'll LOVE learning some Christmas songs. He plays with my Grandma when we visit, as she's the only one with a piano, and he loves being able to show her something he's learned. So I'm excited that I think I've found something that he enjoys a little better than the stuff we've tried in the past.
We're also (or just me probably) working on stuff for the boys birthday party that is on the 29th. Instead of buying a pinata, I think Adisson and I are going to make one, but we'll see. That might be a little harder than I'm anticipating and I might just buy one instead. It's a circus themed birthday party. But I'm also planning a baby shower for my brother and his girlfriend for the same day, so I'm pretty busy with that. And some volunteering I've got going on this month for the Fisher House.
Anyway, that's what we're doing for school right now. I'm still searching endlessly online for a copy of Cranberry Thanksgiving so we can row it next week. But I'm pretty cheap and just can't justify spending $30 on a book. I know, it isn't a lot of money in the grand scheme of things, but I usually buy our books for under a dollar...it's just hard to think that I'll be spending that much money on a book that is in "fair" condition.
I hope your homeschooling adventures are taking you somewhere fun.
