In preparation for our field trip to Lindsborg this weekend for the festival, student is doing a mini-unit to learn about Sweden! And, yes, she'll have a full report of the food afterwards! That is if her Uncle Ed leaves any for her...just remember the cotton candy episode at World's of Fun this summer? The picture shows Student's self-lead project of a windmill, minus a brad, as our homeschool needs to take a trip to the office supply store...so it fits right in with our pre-Sweden studies!
Lindsborg's Svensk Hyllningsfest is a biennial tribute to the Swedish pioneers occurring in October of odd numbered years. The festival features art, crafts, special foods, ethnic music, folk dancing, parade, smörgåsbord, and special entertainment.
fled: leading to something
cruel: steal or take in a mean way
Practicing writing each vocab word in cursive, Student carefully looks at the example letters and connects to complete each word. Her concentration is focused her into tunnel vision! I'll be sure to start doing a pupil check at the end of each cursive session!
Seatwork in Phonics and Language are spread out through the day among the Math ones. It is a bit overwhelming when Student sees the stack in the morning! Reminding her that we will complete only what we can, with no pressure and not all at once, helps her begin breathing again!
Studying up for Awana tomorrow, Student hides The Word in her heart.
We have not really sorted our outings between recess and PE, so we are deciding to call all outdoor or active time activity. How does one sort through all of the labels of blogs anyhow? We are trying to have a rhyme and reason meshed with consistency...as long as there is no test on it! As for activity, Toddler baseball and biking 2.5 miles, with a donut break in between, brought our hearts happiness and our brains oxygen today!
