Growing

Growing a Student is so much fun! It will probably be more work, once the family addition arrives. However, this Student is excited about growing through homeschool and the family's growing, too.

Today we began our reading aloud, lounging on the side porch in the Summer morning coolness before the rain today. Little House on the Prairie. What else is there? We do so love vintage and things of past days, and bringing this book over from the bookshelf at Grandmother's will be a great addition to our Reading. Student listened through the first chapter, and then read aloud from Miss Spider. Yes, Toddler was sitting with us, but only until he remembered that he was outside, and then off on his bike he went!

Maybe it was the peanut butter zucchini cake that we started our Thursday morning with, but the energy around homeschool today has been top-notch! And as the weather keeps spitting down rain, we know the truth about these kiddos and the barometric pressure! So, with that in mind, it is a wonder that the two could cooperate in Computer today. Helping each other, and taking turns... sounds like the reason homeschool would be less effective with only one student!

Reviewing number penmanship and continuing to get closer to 200, Student completed this work quickly and neater than usual. Along with Space facts, History and Phonics seatwork, the day has come to our Space project. This Growing Star display is in it's first stage, we shall finish it's display tomorrow. As we will be half-way through our Space unit tomorrow, when we welcome a Guest Student. Yes, for a day, Student invited a friend to come alongside and learn with her! With Summer in session for most school-goers, she excitedly accepted the invite to come to homeschool!

After we add some glitter in the background, Student says this Star Born display will be ready for the Space open house!
