Farm week was a big one for us. For some reason I have a lot of farm stuff in my homeschool stash. Plus the crafts and the field trip to Pioneer Farms, we had a blast! I struggled with items to put in our E letter box, but a quick post on Instagram and followers came to my rescue with a few suggestions! I added an envelope and an eraser after I took the pic. We really enjoyed our field trip, but it was COLD. We only made it about 1/2 around the farm in over an hour but I was impressed the kids lasted as long as they did. We […]

This week was all about love. We made valentines day mailboxes from Michael’s and the kids loved filling them with little love notes to each other all week. I also put together a ring of paint chips to help teach Jonah his colors each week. I love this project, it was FREE! Free paint chips and a binder ring from the junk drawer…viole!

homeschool preschool fire safety week | iphoneography

This week was all about fire trucks and fire safety. Taryn and Jude completed the fire safety books and really enjoyed it. I’m also including photos of our letter boxes that I forgot to include with last weeks post. They have been a huge hit so far this year. Since then I’ve added in color boxes and he loves those too. Our trip to the fire station was a bust due to the station’s scheduling issues….but we will finally get to go on Monday with a big homeschool group!

Homeschool 2015 week one was a great start to our year. This is our first year educating 4 children at home. We are covering everything from Farm Animals to Physics this year! In addition to the structured curriculum for Jude, Taryn and Ty, I have put together an early pre-k curriculum for Jonah. We have a theme each week and our first theme was Construction / Diggers. I forgot to add photos of our Letter Boxes for this week – I’ll add them for week 2 when I post – they were a huge hit with Jonah. Our week looked like this:

Well, I’ve made it 2 months! I’m counting that as an accomplishment worth celebrating! Last month I posted all my favorite leftovers that didn’t make it in to the 365 and thought I’d do that for February too. Every day life, their memories. Lots of reading, a month visit from my mom, practicing music, lots of Bible study, Valentines Daddy Daughter Dance, Jude’s birthday, a new tetherball, even more reading, naps, lots of Legos, devotionals, Taryn is planning to write a book, lots of school work, and a field trip to Pioneer Farms. It was a good month.
