and colored with them!

Dipping our toes back in!

We took a break from homeschooling with workbooks but not from learning! J has officially begun to read! Today we decided to dip our toes back into some more structured work again.

We went to the library a few days ago.

On our way to the library!

Our library book bags!

 

J signing the back of his very first library card!

Today J & I read some of his borrowed books together.

Then J read to me!

He put one of his new bookmarks to hold his place for tomorrow.

And we did a little bit of addition.

That's all for today!

Took a hiatus from the blog but not from homeschooling!

Here is what we did today:

J did independent work!

Practicing his name

Matching big & small pictures

Shape recognition

C colored in one of her famous getups:

 

C's final product!

Once J was done, they both colored together:

1st of November!

Today was FULL of lessons!

J did a few worksheets:

Matching words to pictures

 

Pattern recognition

Find all of the letter Ee's

Practicing his writing

He also put all of the elephants in size order:

Meanwhile the Diva colored:

 Then she put the crayons away...

What I DON'T have pictured here is she threw every single crayon on the floor after this! She helped me pick most of them up though!

Today we also learned 2 other important lessons:

1. seven candies in one day is TOO much (unless having the kids bouncing off of the walls is what you want!)

and

2. Dog food and 2 year olds don't mix... especially when said two year olds nostrils are involved!

Let's hope for a smoother day tomorrow!

Pumpkins!!

This morning J & C did some school work with dad! They painted several pumpkins and discussed the texture of the pumpkins, measured and weighed one of the bigger pumpkins, and started carving it!

J's pumpkin

C's pumpkin (painted with a little bit of help!)

Dads small pumpkin!

Dads SCARY vampire pumpkin!

All together!
