Paperless and Sticky

How does Homeschool run with a lack of paper on a Wednesday morning?
Why, none other then:
Magnadoodle Math!



With the tissues in close-range, Student worked on before and after number sequences, Mr. Clock time, coin counting and calendar days, while Toddler worked on number recognition. When asked what number Teacher printed on the magnadoodle,
Toddler replied "Railroad Tracks!" which Teacher meant for a # 11.
And, yet again, with the ever-so-tricky #0,
Toddler replied "Letter O"!
Gotta love the 3 1/2 year-old brain! It's tough to sort out all the symbols that look identical...especially with train on the brain! And, it is a regular occassion that the kiddos play Pictionary with Principal on the Magnadoodle...so maybe I'll switch to a chalkboard for paperless-Math next time!

In cursive, Student had the opportunity to answer some questions about herself:
What is your favorite toy?
My dog! (The present pet on the table helping with the messy project below!)
What color is it?
Brownish.
Where do you like to play with your toy?
In the living room.

She completed her seatwork in record time with the ever-so-rewarding chocolate chip award!
6 for each paper...that's 12! She totaled in her excitement.

Student filled added to her I CAN can these 3 papers today:
Tell time
Read
Rite words
Not explained earlier, Teacher meant to say that this can is a positive record of all she is accomplishing this first year of Homeschool.

Upon Toddler and Principal's return from sweating-it-up at the Testosterone Center, aka: Rec Center, he took it upon himself to be on sharpening duty.



Really, this is a loooooooong activity, and it made time for Student to work on her
Skeletal Puzzle for Computer time. No complaints from Teacher about a busy Toddler AND sharpened pencils!



When nap overtook Toddler, Student began the messy Valentine Project.
Inspired by Heather Bailey's design, taken over by Homeschool's recycling, smothered in Modge Podge and Beautified by Teacher's fabric stash...Principal has taken a turn fine-tuning the project, as it deals with MATH! Tomorrow, we hope to complete this lovely recycled holiday decor for Student's room. She already has plans for it's permanent new home in her room!
