Homeschool

We started homeschooling the boys after the Christmas break. They are very behind in school so we thought this would be the best (and quickest) way to catch them up. Renee also participates even though she is not quite old enough to start school. We are using "My Father's World" as our curriculum. We picked it because it is very hands on and has lots of activities and since our kids can't sit still for very long it was just an easy decision. I love teaching them. It is very fun, sometimes challenging, but always exciting. :)

 

Renee tracing her letters.

 Each week we learn a new letter and have science, math, and reading based on the letter. This week it was "I" for Insect.

So we caught a bee (yes, I'm allergic to them). We swooped it up in the net and put it in the catcher then slowly pulled the net out.

This is from Pinterest and has nothing to do with what we were learning. But it was fun to make. We made one pot with red noodles, one with blue. Then blue alfredo sauce. They loved it.

This was the week of "S". We made pancakes and each of us got to draw the letter "S" on the pan using our new pancake pen. Thanks mom for buying it for us. It came into great use.

"T" for turtle. We made turtles out of paper dessert plates and green construction paper. You know you like the pajamas. The funny thing is the boys are in shorts, Renee is in the hottest thing you could wear. That is because after the winter Renee would not stop wearing footed pajamas. We had to take them out of her drawers so she wouldn't be tempted.  :)

 

Wesley picked out his own outfit that day. A cars hat. Soccer pj shirt. Spider man pj pants. Orange Halloween socks, with the pumpkin on the ankle. and tennis shoes.

Doesn't everyone do school in their pajamas???     :)
