Today we're moving along as we started our day as most others. I walked with Ari and got everyone up and ready for the day. It was a beautifully warm morning for a walk and the sunrise was beautiful.
Today's journaling spilled over from yesterday's social studies lesson about the American flag. We've been reading this book:
I asked the children to design a flag for their room. I gave them fabric, stickers, glitter, and other art supplies and I love what they came up with!

 |
| (I love how she spelled tissue and second! hehehe) Those are now on the frequently misspelled list ;) |
After this we had Ian come in (he was home for the morning as he had gum surgery this afternoon...such a bummer) and run through spelling words with them.
We did more work and reading about Charles Darwin and continued to fill in the "Who Was" worksheet. After this Kendall played a multiplication facts game on the computer while Ty had DEAR time. I was making lunch while Ian got Ari up from his nap.
 |
| First, customize a Granny. The more multiplication facts you solve the faster you go to win the race! |
 |
| hahahah...the racing Granny game was so funny! |
 |
| Hello world!! |
 |
| Reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory |
The kids and Ari had lunch and then we headed off to Elm Bank Reservation to meet a fellow homeschooling Mom and her lovely children. It was BLISSFULLY quiet there during school hours and the kids played and played and played for about 3 hours!

 |
| He, too, sticks his tongue out when really concentrating! |
 |
| Ya...It's about time to go home... |
 |
| running running running! |
 |
| Sittin' on the big chair!! |
When we got home the children had a snack and a few minutes of rest and then Tyler did his computer math game and Kendall continued to work on her research project.
 |
| He's playing a game that quizzes you on subtraction facts. For each fact you get right you can move a puzzle piece into place to reveal the picture when you are done. Super cute!! |
 |
| This one's for Uncle Timmy and Auntie Audra!! |
The children were eager to help with dinner. I'd planned on nachos and they were so excited and basically did it all for me!
 |
| Learning how to cook! |
 |
| Working hard!! |
 |
| delicious!! |
Ian is recuperating and I'm off to have parent special with Kendall (and Ty)!
Until tomorrow!
