Fine Arts Friday


It just turned out that way! We had some plans of homeschool for our Guest Pupil today. And, as any Teacher has experienced, plans are best on paper...

With a revised list of to-dos, the students checked off each:
Music
Science
Art
And lunch was last!

Beginning with Music, we returned to Toddler's favorite activity of Rhythm Sticks. It was especially entertaining with Guest Pupil, as she is going to be a fourth-grader, and 1st grade was fun for her to return to today. And so with their rhythm sticks, AKA: kitchen utensils, they tapped on eachother and moved as the record instructed. Of course it is always fun to weird-out a non family-member by pulling out the phonograph!

Today's Death of a Star lesson from our Space unit lead us to Art, where Guest Pupil and Student created these hanging collages each including an element from our Death lesson. They suggested we have a funeral for their dead stars, but all good things must come to an end, and time was gone before we knew it!

Student: It was fun!
