A New Year!


We begin a new year today!

 I love to decorate the home a little to make the day special. Thank you, Dollar Tree, for the frugal decor.

 This year our school room changed. During the summer, we made some changes to storage to our dining and living room.

 Now this is our school room. MUCH less cluttered.


We have essential supplies here. That includes the Math/English/Chinese that the kids will need everyday for their own work.

This, is our favorite part of our living room now.

The other books are stored here. Big Bro has his own caddy, because he is doing his own Math, Science, and Writing (Institute for Writing in Excellence).

We have art supplies and Kindergarten manipulatives here.

 This morning, I am profoundly grateful for the fact I get to homeschool our kids and I get to spend so much more time with them. I do not think it's because I'm better than other moms or more committed. I think it is a gift from God and I treasure it a lot. 

 We began the new year, watching the eclipse. =)

We thought we missed it. But on the left you can see a small reflection of the eclipse. It was reflected from my phone.

Online Resources: Sesame Street Games

I love the Sesame Street Games ...I think they are the best for preschoolers. They teach important concepts, at the same time, making computer skills real easy. For eg, there is no "click and drag"...that's hard for them...there's "click" "move" "click". There are some games Ian really likes...(click on photo for the games) That's the Wheels on the Bus song (you press the keys foe interactive movements) Patterns. Seasons. Fun for the kids. Walking the dogs...numbers. This is alltime favorite. First you make a pitcher of lemonade. Then depending on how many monsters come, you click however many cups. I love it!

Science 2015/2016: Human Body Recap

We really had fun learning about the Human Body this year. I thought it would be meaningful to consolidate our learning. We enjoyed the Body Book more than I thought we would. I did do most of the cutting though. We also enjoyed the different videos we watched and the experiments. I think this is the most successful science year yet. The five senses Tongue the Ear The Skin The Eye Skeleton Joints Long Bone Tooth Brains Spinal Cord Digestive System Stomach The Lungs The Heart The Urinary System The Muscle Look through all our experiments and videos here .
