My home schooling realization of the week is that kids learn a lot from each other. To illustrate that point here is big sister A reading her brothers to sleep and the 2 brothers climbing in shelves together.
We talked about American Indians in our history class this week and ground some corn kernels the "indian way" (with a mortar and pestle). They studied light diffusion in their science class and went to the nature center on a bug collecting adventure. Amidst everything else we did crafts to get ready for the big party.

We played 3 games at the party: A doughnut eating contest, Pop the pumpkins (candy inside each balloon) and the Bat pinata that I have already talked so much about.
