If I were President,....

We celebrated Presidents day learning about two of the most famous presidents in our history, President George Washington and President Abraham Lincoln.  We read some really interesting books that told about each of their childhoods and lives through their presidency.  It made us proud ot learn about their morals and accomplishments that helped make America a better country.  We 

Evan got to write about what he would do "If I were President,....".  I think he has my vote!!

Love is all you need! Happy Valentines day!

Evan's super neat Valentine he received from his piano teacher Ms. Diane!

making our playdough hearts!

Valentine goodie bags for our class party!

We had a sweet day celebrating  Valentines day with our homeschool friends!  We exchanged Valentines and talked about how we love because He first loved us!  God has blessed us with a great group of friends and it was special spending this day with them at our Valentines party!

Bones!!

 Mr. Bones has been adopted as our class mascot!! He is always hanging around in our class!!

 We learned alot about all the different bones in our body. Jace was really interested in helping bro put the skeleton together.

We labeled the bones on Mr. Bone and sang the infamous "hip bone connected to the leg bone" song!!  God has done an amazing job creating our bodies and it is always fun to learn about how we are made!

Snowstorm in a jar!

We have had a wet and snowy winter this year!  It has given us perfect opportunity to do some learning inside our cozy, warm home!!  The boys love hands on anything, so this "snow storm in a jar" was a perfect experiment!  I love the reaction on their faces observing the "storm".  This is my preferred snow day play!!!

Animal Classifications

We did a great study on all the awesome animals that God created and learned about each classification. We studied birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians and mammals.  We had fun looking through magazines and cutting out pictures of all the different kinds. I think my animal lover Lane especially enjoyed this project!  Mr Jace can even tell you now all about reptiles!! A fun learning experience at Class of 3!

Slime!!!

Evan LOVES to do experiments!  When I saw this concoction of Borax, glue and hot water to make Slime I knew this would be right up his alley!! It turned out awesome!!! All boy!!!

God made the moon and God made me!

We had such a fun time learning about the moon and its phases!  The boys loved the oreo moons!

We made moon sand and thought it was awesome learning about the moon's surface!  We studied about Neil Armstrong and looked at a picture of his footprint on the moon! 

We painted sparkly "moon rocks"!! How cool!!! This was a fun time learning about the moon, another one of  God's awesome creations!

I see the moon, and the moon sees me! God made the moon, and God made me!!

Science!!

We love Science! We love mixing and pouring and exploring!  We go through a steady supply of baking soda, vinegar and food coloring!!  I think its adorable when they wear their lab googles!! 

There is a great big world to explore!!

Spelling Power!!

We added Spelling Power mid year and are loving it!! Evan says spelling is his new favorite subject.  He is an amazing natural speller.  I'm pleased with this curriculum, it will  be the only book we will have to use throughout his schooling (and little brothers as well).  I love it when we find something that is a perfect fit for our education!

We have a Graduate at Class of 3!

I

In the thick of Math and Handwriting we also are busy potty training the tiniest classmate at Class of 3 Sanford Christian Academy!! I am so proud of this guy and  his big bros for being his encouragers! They would clap and praise him and be sure to tell me he earned a treat! All of their hard work payed off and we are diaper free at 2 1/2yrs!! He followed in both of his older brothers footsteps, they all were easy to train and all were about 28months when they did.  Time to play the pomp and circumstance! We have a graduate!!
