Sorry...

Sorry we have been MIA lately.  We are still homeschooling.  But, I am working a bit more often.  So, it has been hard to find time to blog about our days.  Joshua has been learning about probability and chance in math.  And in Language Arts he is learning about letter sounds and blending them together to make words.  He is doing really good. 

We are going to be studying ants in the next few weeks.  Joshua is interested in them.  So, I am in the process of finding anything and everything that the internet has to offer on the subject.  We are also going to either start or buy an ant farm.  Not sure which way we are going to go on that yet. 

Joshua has been riding his bike a lot lately.  The weather has been pretty good the last couple of weeks.  But, we got rain today and it's in the forcast for the next few days.  So, our outside nature walks have been put on hold.  I am planning on finding a catapillar and putting it in a jar...so Joshua can watch it build a cacoon.  I did that with my niece a few years ago.  She loved it.  She got to let it go when it came out of the cacoon.

Joshua finally mastered identifying coins.  He struggled with that for a while and then one day it just "clicked." 

I will be sharing pics of our ant farm soon.  So, check back.

Feeling Crafty...

Today Joshua and I went on a long walk.  The weather is so nice today.  We looked for signs of Spring and collected various things from a scavenger hunt list that we made.  Joshua loves doing this.   While we were out walking...we found a big rock.  I suggested that Joshua draw on it.  He said he wanted to draw himself on the rock.  So, this pic is the finished product. :)

Joshua is getting excited about going fishing soon.  He has been practicing casting with his Transformer fishing pole.  So, keeping with the theme...I decided to let Joshua do a "FISH" picture from pictures I cut out of a fishing magazine.  He loved it.  And insisted that I take a picture of it for our homeschool blog.


We didn't get to do any computer or worksheets today.  But, he learned things today.  So, as far as I'm concerned that is what is most important.
