October Wrap Up

We have had a very busy month in "school"! Field trips, project days, and the stinking letters "Q, Z, and X"! Here's our MONTHLY wrap up, since I missed every single WEEKLY wrap up this month!

FIRST OF ALL we got a new class pet and he is a sweet big guy!

 He has also been a good excuse for "skipping" school :)

 

THEN we had a fun harvest party with our homeschool group - and Grandma...thank GOD for Grandma on these days :)

 

 We took a trip to "Change the Story" by Compassion International - a great opportunity for the kids to walk through and "experience" life in a third world setting.

 And our group was given the opportunity to serve the community and help out at a local food ministry

Around here we focused on some fun sensory bins, trying to get Buzz to FOCUS on tot time, and like I said...the letter Q!

 

Weekly Wrap Up - "The Glorious Flight"

This week we ROWed "The Glorious Flight"

My friend taught on Monday (I don't have photos) and we built our own cardboard box planes, made an airplane snack out of a banana, and found France and England on a map.

Wednesday we rowed at home, where we learned about propulsion using a balloon, yarn, and a straw, we baked some French bread and churned our own butter. We also learned a little about scale and angle as we did an art project imagining our neighborhood from a planes perspective. We wrapped it all up with a field trip to "Missionary Flights International" with our homeschool group.

 Eating popcorn and watching a show about planes while we waited for our field trip!

And as far as tot school went this week...it didnt :) Baby J marched to the beat of his own drum this week!!!
