Spring School

This year in school we added a new student (Brooks) and added a few new subjects (Art, History and Science).  Basically Phonics/Reading/Spelling/Writing and Math are still one-on-one and Art, History and Science are done all together.  The kids learned so much and I can assure you I did too!
 

In addition to those daily activities, we also did several field trips.  Here are highlights from a few:

Griffon Family Farms

- Saw three ages of chicken and their different environment, color, sounds, and sizes

- Saw farm equipment and a semi-truck

-  Learned about corn and wheat production

 Botanical Center
-  Leaned about different textures, colors and uses of different types of soil and clay
-  Saw several varieties of plants and flowers
-  Review of seasons

Sheep Brain Dissection

-  All the kids got to touch a sheep brain

-  Learned about the size and use of a brain

-  Learned about the weight of different brains

-  Learned what different parts of the brain looked and felt like

Fall School

Most of our school days consist of learning around our table, or in our yard, or on the couch reading.  And most of those of course go undocumented.  But on occasion, we venture out with friends on some pretty cool field trips.  Here are a few picture of the kids coloring and a few show the field trips we participated in this fall!
