Fun school is still holding up to it's name. We are still learning a lot about bees. They are AMAZING little insects and I have learned so much too (like how the female bee is pretty much the backbone of the bee hive, doing all the work. lol). Noah is doing amazing, he is super smart and eager to learn. I love this season of life with him. We made a craft out of bees, it is so neat! We will work on a flower pot with egg shell flowers for the bee to eat nectar out of next week.
Noah is still doing really good in math. We have done addition and subtraction and he just "gets" a lot of it without me even explaining it. :) We use beans and flash cards along with some pages from our curriculum books.
I read a lot to them, I know that is a big part of learning right now. I also love to read so it's fun for me too. We've been going to the library every other week and checking out books, movies, and cd's. They are really enjoying that and Ava thinks she owns the library and gets really mad at Mama when I don't let her run wild. It reminds me so much of Noah. When he was little, I braved the library a couple of times and decided it was too stressful. And now I'm in there with 3 little ones and making it happen. I put Ava in a stroller today, she wasn't too happy about that, but it made it easier for me to keep up with them.
I also joined a homeschool group that will start meeting next week. I went to a Mom's night this week and met all the other Moms and painted a really neat canvas. I had a good time and look forward to taking the kids on Mondays to learn and play with the other kids and Moms. It's really awesome because they meet literally less than a mile from our house.
So after a month of educating at home, we've had lots of fun and I'm learning a lot along the way. Life is learning and embracing the moments to soak it all in.
