Lots of Learning!

Besides the fact that we've been "doing school" just about every day for the past couple of weeks, getting back in the groove after playing during early spring, we've been learning a LOT.

We've still been outside most of the day.

We've planted in our garden and planted seeds in pots. We have talked about how different/similar each of the plants are and seeds are.

We got to watch ants in action. We saw a few scouts come and investigate a spoon on the ground, find peanut butter on it, and go back and tell the others. Then we got to watch seemingly millions of ants come out from under our driveway....

We have learned about the doppler effect by listening to the ice cream truck. We have also learned the value of money by discussing the prices from the ice cream truck and comparing them to the prices in the store.

We have started t-ball/coach pitch with Jayden and Grace and have been working on hitting the ball and fielding with all three big girls.

Some of the day is inside though.

We have seen ginger root, garlic, and onions and talked about the differences and similarities.

We've cooked and cleaned.

We've discussed the nature of strep bacteria and how antibiotics can help keep others from getting strep throat :(

Both inside and outside we have been working on behavior... trading desirable behaviors for undesirable ones.

And Evie has been working on walking and climbing :)

I love homeschooling because you can do SO MUCH MORE than just school.
