School

Here is Kj working diligently on her schoolwork.  She is drawing a "card" because she needed to draw and write out 2 things that started with "C" and 2 things that started with "G".  

This is our extracurricular science.  It isn't part of school really, but I figure it is a learning activity.  Kj and L climb up on the stool and check out these plants daily.  They let me know when there are roots coming, that the base is turning black on our elder celery, etc.  They have gone out collecting pans of snow for the watering.  The come in with the pan packed to the brim of water and find that as it melts the only have half a pan left.  All very educational...even though they don't realize it!

Kj has been copying verses and such.  We got a new wall decoration and two days in a row, she sat at the table and copied it onto a small card.  Then for school one day she started copying her memory verse.  I haven't started correcting her letters on voluntary writing activities, but we do switch them around otherwise.  In the middle you will see a stick figure of a horse.  Horse and elephant are the animals this week. 

Another extracurricular science experiment.  We read that a grapefruit is the mix of a pummelo and an orange, and so we bought them all and tried them.  First the orange, then the pummelo, then the grapefruit, then the pummelo and orange together, followed by the grapefruit.  Comparing as we went.
