We started school outside in the morning.
Our reading materials. I have to comment on this Bible. I am not a huge fan of children's Bibles. I really like this one, though. It doesn't dumb-down the stories, it's very accurate and it doesn't add in a moral or a lesson, it just sticks to the text. I'm excited that we will read through the whole Bible this year as part of our curriculum.
His eyes looked so green this morning
Ezzy played with this little worm for quite awhile.
Koa was captivated by the light through the trees.
The sky started clouding over so we moved inside for languge arts. These letter blocks are great because all the kids can participate in their own way. Ezzy finds letters and tells me the letter sounds. Jude plays.
Kai makes words
For writing we used cornmeal (another idea from Tracie at: teaandchopsticks.wordpress.com).
Jude just played and made a mess
Ezzy too
Then I got a little crazy and poured some water into their cornmeal and it made a sticky, doughy substance that was even more fun to play with.
topped with cheese - they loved it.
For science we've been studying weather and today we made a weather vane.

Ok, this may be kind of gross because of the amount of playing they did with the cornmeal, but I actually took their little cornmeal patties and fried them up for lunch! I figured it's their own germs they're eating, so it can't hurt them too much!
