A day in the life

No two days in our homeschool are ever the same and we love it that way!  This is today's slice of love and fun.

Hungry,  hungry math! 


Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and cuddles with the furry family. 


A little fiddling


His favorite word of the day


And some fun paper cutting!

KaBOOM!

We've been reading a lot about volcanoes and rocks lately and having a lot of fun with it!  Since we actually saw the lava flow from Kilauea it's been a major source of conversation around here.


I taught in New Mexico for a week recently and brought back a suitcase full of volcanic rock and fossils.   

Real, floating pumice!


Basalt - FULL of air bubbles

Mystery note scavenger hunt!

New fun this morning :)  I wrote out a series of short notes for the Boy that all led to a quick hunt and a small prize.   He asked for more and more and more and sounded out a lot of words!

Quick trip

We've been starving for sunshine around here, so the chipmunk and I took a quick trip to Florida to visit family.  

He loves to sit and have breakfast and watch for skateboarders and dogs.  We spotted coconuts,  did some surfing on the bodyboard,  and had an all around fabulous time!

The kid who doesn't like to color

The boy doesn't really like to color.   He doesn't like to draw. He will paint occasionally, and he loves mazes, but most of the time has had no interest in holding anything that will write.   We pushed it a few times, then decided to trust that he'd come to it when he was ready.   All the things are available and he has mostly ignored them until this week.  He got up Monday morning and wrote a to do list on the chalkboard.   Then he wrote words on the sidewalk outside.   He gets it in his own time.

Early

A typical morning.   Sean has an agenda and I'm begging for coffee.
