Our School Week~

Tuesday was our first Poetry Teatime with Calla, and she thoroughly enjoyed it~

Our read aloud for now is Because of Winn Dixie.
We have loved reading and comparing to the movie.
EK and SJ follow along while I read as well as take turns reading a chapter for us~

Wednesday is Nature Day, and we still LOVE Wild Explorers Club.
This week we were to draw maps, and they turned out great of our yard~

Our memory verses are so fun this year since we added music.
This week I found the beanbags and we marched around balancing on our heads~

Galatians 6:9

So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. 

At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.

Art & Self Portraits~

While we watched Because of Winn Dixie Friday night, we noticed a theme of 10 Things About...

I thought it would be awesome for each of the kids to make a list of their 10 things
and added them to a self portrait that they drew~

 They all did such a beautiful job~
(Calla didn't paint one but wanted her photo taken:)

 This was our art day so we laminated them and added to our Art Stories Notebook~

It had been a while since we enjoyed this practice so it was delightful for them to look through all the beautiful art they had created.
I wondered if this was even worth the time and expense it took...
their Joy proved it definitely was!!!
