Kinder lesson 26 / 2nd lesson 110

Today was PRODUCTIVE!

We woke up and went to Co-op today. It was the 7th week, only 3 more to go in this semester. I must say I need a break from planning and from going somewhere for school every Thursday! *laugh* It has been a blast though.

Today we went into motion and left behind electricity in my science class. We talked about Sir Isaac Newton and his Law of Action and Reaction. It was a really fun class.
Here are the kids blowing up the balloons and getting ready to use our balloon rockets.

I would show pictures but the video is worth the watch for the balloon rocket.

We came home and Eli and Remy had some more light schooling. Eli made these scissor animals, not his best work, but you know...it's cute!

Kinder lesson 25 / 2nd lesson 109

I know it has been a LONG time! We had house guests that we miss terribly. And we have moved into a new house. We (well except for Remy) needed a school break. We school through the summer's but this time we needed some time. We didn't need to get away from school, life just needed us to rearrange other things. :)

We live in our new house now!

I will update with more photos, like the new school room asap! Still haven't unpacked. I have had a lot of births, school with the boys, and co-op. Now we are sewing costumes. But soon we will slow down enough to get to it all. *sigh*
I don't know if I shared that we have started Mystery Folders. I put in random sheets and activites for when the boys are bored or I need to be with one child and the other one needs to be kept occupied.

Eli had a very productive day today. But his favorite project was his Potato man he made. :)

The other day Remy really enjoyed working with pennies and buying items off of our store board. We took turns drawing toys and giving them a price of 3cents, 7cents, etc. Here is a board Remy made up.

Today Remy did what he loves best...he wrote and he wrote and he wrote. He did beg me for more at around 6 when I had to stop to make dinner! *laugh*

Notice his tongue is out on this one! *laugh*
Here is a sample of his penmanship today.

We are so impressed with both of our boys!
It was a rainy and dark day. We stayed cozy and snuggly in our home with out work. It is just so wonderful to learn together with our own world going on in our home while the rest of the world is zooming past. I will miss these days. *sigh*
The world is safe for another day. These two still have much to learn here with me. :)
Co-op is tomorrow...but I will try to post a new blog then! I have missed the updates! Sorry! We will be here often now that we are back! Look in anytime!
