First Day of Homeschool 2013

First Day of School 2013 006



Yesterday was our first day of the new homeschool year! YAY!!!! I thought I would share a few of the things we did.

For some reason all of our cats seem to LOVE Cailey's school work! They never bother any of the other kids! LOL

If you recognize Cailey's dress, it's the Red, White and Blue dress (click for the tutorial).

Here is Colin doing some streak tests from the Young Scientist Club kit # 7 - Minerals. (These are MUCH cheaper through Amazon and you get 3 kits in one.) (Amazon was down while I was working on this post.)

Here, Cailey is examining rocks from our trip to Pigeon Forge on the 4th of July.

The Rocks and Minerals unit that I put together can be found HERE.

    It's so much fun for me to get a peek at your home school and all the activities you do with the kids. But I really love sending my kids off every day . . .

    I love your Idea on putting the paper on the wall to draw the maps, Do you let them hang them in their rooms when you are done with that unit.

    Thank you, Misty! I figured it was much easier for them that way.
    Right now they are still hanging in the living room but yes, after the unit is over they can hang them anywhere they want to. :)
