Homeschool- All about bodies of water Part 2







We finally made it to the beach!  It was a lot of fun!!  While there, we learned about tropical storms, as we arrived just in time to be in the middle of one!!!  You can see it in the clouds in these photos.  Right after I took these photos, we were pelted with rain that felt like hail and wind knocking us off our feet!!

Homeschool- All about bodies of water Part 1







I am very behind on posts.  Here come some posts from September 2010.  Jaden had a choice for her 6 year birthday: either go on a vacation with family, or have a party at home with friends.  She decided she wanted to go to the beach with her family. 

Before going to the beach, we made water, fish, and everything aquatic part of schooling.  On this day we learned about piranhas and the girls painted wood piranhas.

Homeschool Fun- Pioneers









Museums can be a lot of fun when there are a lot of exhibits you can touch and try out.  The girls got a feel for how pioneers lived.  They tried out the cooking appliances, general store, clothes, beds, and learned about what it means to be a "pioneer".  It is these kinds of things that I LOVE about homeschool.  We are creating a lot of memories, and they are memories we can share.  =)
