Math class is Gideon's favorite! 

 Especially when he has friends helping him.

November '14

We made parachutes out of plastic bags and string. What a fun way to learn about air resistance!

Gideon is coming along with his reading! He is reading one of his Bob Books here.

We spent the morning at Lake Nockamixin on this beautiful November day. A much needed break from the normal home-school routine!

Another gorgeous November day outside!

Turkeys made by my little turkeys!

Snow day!

The kids love special movie nights and popcorn. Even godzillas and dinosaurs joined in the fun!

Can't do math class without Godzilla and Co.!

October '14

We made it through another month of home-school! "Yay-hoo!" (as Jocelyn would say.)

Here is Gideon working hard on his volcano creation.

The best part - watching it explode!

The kids are painting styrofoam balls for the solar system.

We don't kill spiders in our house! Instead, we take care of them and research what kind they are.:)

This is a leaf bug my mom found for Gideon.

Here are the kids and Grams at the Renaissance Faire!

We took a field trip to Green Lane park where we learned about mammals and hiked through the woods.

This was a beautiful day spent at Lake Nockamixon. A much needed break from the home-school routine.

Sweet-pea taking a nap in "Gigi's" bed.

I think we will be missing working outdoors now that the cooler weather has rolled in.:(

Trick or Treat!!!

Soooo, my goal was to blog once a month during the homeschool year to keep track of all the things we're learning and memories made, buuuuut I'm already behind and so I'm just going to do a quick catch up in pictures!

First Day!!! Theme: Peter Rabbit

Godzilla joined the fun.

On this day, Gideon wanted to learn about earthquakes so we did a hands-on experiment.

Great thing about homeschool....you can have math class outside!
