School and Scholars

I am often asked how we homeschool... well this is how we do it TODAY! Everyday is different...

I missed getting photos of Emma making smoothies for us all this morning and the children doing their morning chores.. but here is how I found them when I just got up to get photos....


J finishing off science


E has injured her back but that doesn't stop a homeschooler :0)


B finished his reading unit yesterday and now is slogging through handwriting



A studying for a test
C getting ready for some painting




H is finishing her reading unit..


                                          C has finished painting and is doing her letter sheet


We all stop to check out hummingbirds (the bird of the month) at http://www.wbu.com/





and then it is lunch time....


Benjamin takes a marketing call.. no thank-you we don't want a free cruise..


and everyone indulges C and watches Hello Kitty with lunch..


after lunch we get our chores done.. laundry..


dog walking...



cleaning out the dogs room

(and dishes..the boys are on dishes today and I'm too busy refereeing disputes to take a photo :0) )

we are heading into the afternoon.. it will be more of the same...


Except C's bike chain will come off and get wrapped around the barrel of her bike..


so instead of riding she chooses to try to plant a few petals and see if they will grow into flowers..


maybe like this rose which we frequently take time to stop and smell..

the flower not yielding the results she had hoped she enlists big brother to help her make crayons..


and spend some time watching the old crayons melt..


as busy as she is she still manages to stage a little people invasion of H's school desk...


and...


crawls down the hallway like a slug or snail... which happens to be what H has been learning about today...


after tests have been completed guinea pigs need cleaning out...


and of course that leads to a great family art-o-tunity


 look familiar?

 how about now?

 or now...?

 now????

 maybe now.. all we need is the old house in the background!

Crazy kids!!!! :0)

And so endeth a homeschool day :0)
