pics from the past weeks...

Here are a few pics of the past 2 weeks of school...

K's learning about Jesus' parables and the day we read about the Prodigal Son she laced the path he took - away from home, spending his money, eating pig food he was so poor and then making his way back home where his father welcomed him home with open arms.  I drew the pics for her and helped her punch the holes in the thick file folder we used, but she did all the lacing by herself.

D's history the past few weeks was about the founding of our country so last week we read about the Boston Tea Party  and D was to draw a boat with crayons then paint over it with blue water colors and sprinkle actual TEA on the wet paint.  Just the people did with the real tea party - dumping the tea in the water.  K even joined in on the project...

K's math activity one day was to trace her feet, cut them out and then use them to "measure" various objects.  D joined in on this activity, too.  We talked about the REAL foot measurement being 12 inches.

K&D received some Easter goodies from Nana last weekend - Drew has really enjoyed the Wikki Stix (so has K) and enjoys making maps of marble runs or widgits puzzles...

K tried out her book with foam blocks to build her letters...
