HS Beach day in Jan?

Yes you read right.. it was 79 degrees here on Jan 14th...so Jenni organized a CC Beach lunch playdate. It was so much fun and reminded me why I moved to the beach. They caught fish and crabs and even got in the ocean.. it was pretty cold though.

Painting like Giotto

In Classical we have been learning about some very famous artists. Today we tried to replicate one of Giotto's paintings. The kids thought it was neat that Giotto used dead bugs as paint colors. We just used water colors. Its amazing his paintings still exists. They had fun.

Parts of the earth

In classical this week we are also learning about the parts of the earth. I found this neat play duh model to do with the kids on Pinterest so I bought the play duh and we had a blast.

Angel Oak

This was an outing that we did as after school one day. We live near a cool place called Angel Oak. Which is an Oak tree believed to be between 900-1500 years old. It is beautiful. The kids wish you could climb all over but it has survived this long because you are not allowed. They had fun running around the tree and realizing how small they were compared to the tree. Stefan took me here when we were just dating.

Turkeys

Today we went on a walk with our dog and then gathered cool colored leaves and came home and made these cool turkey's. It was so simple. Just found different turkey bodies on the internet and then let the artist create. I liked how when Kenny placed his turkey body the stem from the leaves stuck out and made it look like feet. yes he meant to do that. lol

I am back

Well life got busy.. but I am back will be updating new post and adding some old ones from our homeschooling over the last year....

Home Economics-Lesson #1

Do they teach Home Economics in the 1st grade at school? Well we do at The Schillings Christian Academy. Today was Daniel's first lesson and we made cupcakes for our neighbor friends. They were a hit. He loved that he got to do everything himself, with mommy supervision.
