Co-op

We recently had another library co-op where the kids worked on the water cycle.

They made a storm in a cup.




 They also worked on a craft explaining evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.

Nature Walk!

We recently went on a nature walk. The trail has a drop off on each side, so needless to say, I had several mini panic attacks whenever the children stepped off of the pavement!




We saw several bluejays.


Wasp nest





Moss on the rocks
 
 Different colored mushrooms.

 We hit the 1 mile mark and stopped for a picture before heading back. 


Berries on trees



We stopped to see if there were any fish, but there wasn't.

 We saw what looks like a foxhole.


Altogether we walked 2 miles, and the kids had a ton of fun!

Despite my paranoia, I absolutely love days like this. I am so grateful for the opportunity to homeschool my children and watch them as they learn. Lots of times I am right there learning alongside them.

Pumpkin Cookies!

Sometimes school is about being silly. Jayden was doing a grammar worksheet and decided to use the word "butt" in one of his sentences.
 This is his reaction when I read his sentence out loud.



 After school we baked some pumpkin spice cookies. We added in chocolate chips, for fraction purposes of course, and enjoyed them with milk!

Fall Craft

Recently the kids went with May to work on a fall craft. All pictures are courtesy of her! :)
Jayden disgusted with how the brown paint looked






 Using paintbrushes so their fingers wouldn't get dirty from the glue.
