An afternoon nap for Emmy and Max might feel wonderful at the time, but they will rise and keep you up all hours of the night.  Beware.

Reading eggs time for Reagan.  I have absolutely loved this online reading program.  I have started Emmy on it this semester, too.  They enjoy it so much.

Writing words in shaving cream!

Watching the clay volcano she made erupt with her Magic Schoolbus class…

Finally, a snow day!!  Barely enough snow to do any serious playing, but still enough to make a mini snow man. 🙂

Painting at Gran’s while Kay Kay was in town!

Working on word families-

Making an activity to go with Jan Brett’s The Mitten–

An activity based on Karma Wilson’s Bear Snores On…

We talked about what animals do during the winter and sorted out all these animals into categories-

Working on some “chunks” (st, sk, sn)

Sight Word Bingo

Sight Word Bug Splat for Reagan and Letter Bug Splat for Emmy!

Looking at the US on the globe.  I use Abeka’s social studies program for K, and Reagan really likes it.  It is easy enough to use and fun for her.

Watching tv upside down (at Gran’s)-

Reagan pretending to be the teacher and reading to her two students.  You can see Max was wondering- not a very good listener.

Trying out her telescope that she got for Christmas.  She looked at a “Bee Wing” and then drew a picture of it.

We made our own “chunk” chart.

Emmy drew a her own big tree with her, Mona, and Kay at the bottom.

Playing hide-and-seek at Gran’s.  Gran picked a funny spot this time.

Homeschooling with youtube videos-  The “THE” song.

Here’s a video clip I caught while they were doing youtube homeschool (turn blog music on right sidebar before playing video)-
