School Lately

We have been doing well in the school department around here lately.These are some of the things we have been up to...

In history we have been learning about the Mayans.The boys and I had fun making clay pots like the Mayans.We just used a simple salt dough recipe and let it air dry for a few weeks.

In science we have been studying the human body.It's hard to see but this is an outline of Charlie's body and he has filled in areas such as the heart,lungs,bladder,kidneys,etc...

The making of the clay "pots"

Just cuz!

A few of the books we have been reading.We love Little House books!

This was a big hit as well.

science brain game

my little brain model.I thought this was a really cool idea and a fun way to learn the different parts of the brain.Later on Charlie colored in the sections and will be filling out a blank brain for a test.

Big C learning to type :)

Almost done with school.Reggie can't handle it anymore!!!Most days this is what it looks like half-way to almost done with school.He's had all the fun he can possibly have with markers and his face.

the clay pots are dry!Let's paint!

good ol' egg crate to hold some paint.what would I do without these?

Just a taste of what our days look like.Fun,exhausting,but mostly fun.

What activities do you do with your littles to help them learn?Or if your littles aren't so little,what did you use to do?I'd love to know!
