So we've done a slew of things I'd consider school-worthy. We had a huge lifeskills cleaning day with friends. We decorated, we made cookies, we made clothespin people ornaments, and we crafted with foam sheets, glitter glue, and glass stones. We painted wood, shirts, and ourselves. We made presents, ornaments, and painted wood shapes. We shopped together. We've read new books:
Snow by PD Eastman
On The Night You Were Born by Nancy Tilman
And Leanna's been reading some of Lorelei's new Eric Carle books to her aloud.
She finished Henry and Ribsey and Henry and the Paper Route both by Beverly Cleary. She also started and finished How to Train Your Dragon by Cresida Cowell today.
The kids were given a bunch of Crayola crafts from someone their grandmother knows (some already opened but still usable) and Leanna's been putting them together. Decorating purses, adding fabric patches to make jewelery and necklaces. She even started putting together a hanging chandelier. She put together her new Ikea doll bed (I had to tighten the screws). She made a Crystal tree today, we'll observe that. She also did a journal entry today. There were a few other days where she purposely did something school related like working in a grammar book or writing things.
She entered her new Webkinz onto the site and played some (semi) educational computer games. She played with the neighbor (the boys rode bikes and raced with him. They observed with a new telescope they got for Christmas.Leanna worked on several sewing projects. Justin's been hammering and sawing. Timothy read some more with me. We sang and danced. It's been busy!
