Random School Happenings

These are just a jumble of things we did in the summer and fall, I lose track of when we did what - it's all recorded in the Jorte app anywayz.....

These are in no particular order AT ALL.


We learned about rocks and minerals, and went outside and collected different rock samples to analyse.

We learned about different habitats and what animals lived in the different ones, as well as adaptations that allowed them to survive.

We also did goofy crafts - your favorite kind :)

We do a lot of activities online to reinforce what we learn and I am thankful for all the resources out there.

We were doing a reading exercise or something, and you put some word cards together to make silly sentences.  You made "Dance, Spicy Mice" and proceeded to do a spicy mouse dance :)

If only I had these when I was a kid, I would probably been able to learn so much better. :)

Thanksgiving 2015

You had been looking forward to Thanksgiving, because you would get to see and play with the cousins and have a grand time, and basically you are just a little boy who is enthusiastic and exuberant and such a wonder to be with :)

You helped me make cranberry relish - one of your favorite things to do ( whenever the time of year comes along )

and we even managed to get in a mini lesson about cranberries and how they float and using our senses - you thought they were very tart but couldn't stop biting into them, screwing up your face with each bite, but then going at it again the next moment. :}

Then we got ready to bring our stuff to have lunch with the family, and you were delighted to be dressed in "Stampy Colors" and proceeded to find Stampy colors in just about everything after that..  :)
