Baking day

Today was baking day! We had a lot of fun today and virtually no problems! Maybe I should have documented this week instead of last week.


We discussed the way all of the different ingredients smelled and felt.

Helping me make chocolate banana pancake muffins.

Don't freak out, it was an egg-less recipe.

Helping me make whole grain pizza dough.

Calendar time, Monkey was asking me where all the numbers went.

Our daily board for the week.

Tracing uppercase and lowercase t while saying the phonetic sound, making a t in sign language.

Froggy kept rearranging our sight word story cards.

I didn't get any pictures, but we read Jesus Wants All of Me, Jesus Storybook bible, The Story of the Ten Commandments. Monkey surprised me by not wanting to read any more than that. Normally, he wants to read an armful of books. I think he was just more interested in baking today.

Making pizza sauce.

He was excited over the pizza dough rising!

Sorting pegs by color.

Trying to use the pegboard as a geoboard. Fail.

Making pizzas!

We went to our favorite park this evening.

Froggy had to take Hubbie's water bottle everywhere.



I love the giant sand box pit at this park!

Picnic at the park!

Playing in the tunnel.

And running on top of the tunnel.

Running through the tunnel.

Chasing each other through the tunnel.


Monkey took care of watering our plants when we got home.

Our curriculum

This is going to be a cumulative post for every year we home school. We've been homeschooling since Monkey was a tot, starting with sign language and "everyday learning". Our first year of homeshooling was when he was 2 years old, I used the Letter of the Week curriculum until he lost interest. After he lost interest, I used various resources including Hubbard Cupboard , Confessions of a Homeschooler preschool , various resources for tot books . When he was 3, I used Montessori resources including Montessori at Home , and 1+1+1=1 . Monkey turned 4 and kept wanting more, I got tired of the hours I spent planning and preparing for each week, so I started buying curriculum, it isn't necessary, but for me to have extra time, it is SO worth it! Scroll down until you view the year you want to see. 2012-2013 School year Monkey's school Main curriculum For our main curriculum, we are using Weaver Interlock , a Christian unit study that uses the bible les

Today.

 End of another school week! It was so beautiful today and the mosquitos weren't bad so we had school outside today in between playtime. We've been using the ABC Find It sheets to play games for phonic practice, today we used sweet gum tree balls to cover them as he found each one from the clue card. Shaving cream for cleaning and writing practice was a GREAT idea... until I left the room to clean up and found shaving cream all over their bodies and our air purifier, whoops! Our local teacher and parent resource center has a TON of great shoebox workboxes available for rent, the first one I rented has two colored wooden balls attached to a short dowel rod, you have to push it through half way into the hole in the middle so you can slide it to one of the sides, Froggy really enjoys this! We use the Raising Rock Stars for phonics reinforcement, we're going through the alphabet a final time before starting the next level of a reading curriculum. We use this kinderga
