Family Schooling Summary

Co-op school gave the kiddos some homework this week. Brother M brought home this "rainbow maker" and another music toy that he made with bells. 
 Big sister A brought home her Botany notebook and an assignment to do the bean seed experiment. I remember when we did this in second grade too.  We are observing the seeds every day and documenting their progress.



Big sister A read aloud to us this week, including reading baby L a story. We are still studying WWII for history. We read Happy Birthday Molly this week.  I also called my grandma to ask her what she remembered from that time period. We talked about their Victory garden and food ration cards. She said that her mother always had a garden, but during the war they called it a Victory garden.  She told me that was when she got sprayed by a skunk! It just came running out of the corn patch and was across her feet before she realized what it was. Then it lifted its tail and sprayed her.

A. is also mastering the art of multi-tasking at a young age.  Playing Uno and doing her grammar workbook in between turns. That's my girl. 
Uno is the most popular pastime at our house now. Everyday when daddy comes home from work they are all over him to play a game or two before dinner and they play all day long with just the 2 or 3 of us.
Brothers M and S have each created little "hordes" in old animal cracker jars.  They like to carry around all their favorite trains, cars, small things and have races while sitting on their jars and scooting on the floor. 

Baby L is laughing and rolling onto her back. She is such a good baby. She has the sniffles and I have been using the nebulizer on her to make sure that she can breath easy before she goes to sleep every night. She holds the mask sometimes now, grabbing it with her two hands.  She also found her hands and comforts herself by sucking on them.
