Vacations during the traditional school year!
Working and homeschooling?
Homeschooling at work this week! Girls are both working on some multi-sensory reading activities which are individualized to where they are and who they are! Blessed to have them with me this week as I fill in in the office… thankful for my boss for asking me to sit in this week and offering for me to bring the kids along, and for the in laws for watching the bug!
To be at home…
There have been so many activities around Baton Rouge, and the weather has been beautiful… But it is hard to not just enjoy the kids and the backyard! Today we planted some herbs, began to clean up the yard, played in the tree house, swam, and just enjoyed being home!
Women in Aviation
This was such a great experience! I highly recommend it. One girl got to be the co-pilot and the other videoed the whole thing.
Chinese New Year
Today we learned about the Chinese New Year at Vinh Phat in Baton Rouge.
Cooking and Nutrition
We try to make cooking and learning about nutrition a regular part of our “homeschooling”. The girl’s really enjoy cooking. Keto cooking – High fat, low carb!
Nature Study
Since it is supposed to rain tomorrow, we did our nature study today. We learned about and painted the woodpecker. Kbug also participated.
Today is for Exploring!
As everyday should be… Kbug is kinda bummed in this picture because he could only fin one of his rubber boots.
Estes Park, Colorado
Oh what a trip. Estes Park is one of my favorite places, Historic Crags Lodge, Rocky Mountain National Park, Old Fashioned Georgetown Christmas complete with roasted chestnuts…sledding, snowshoeing (Alberta Falls), winery tour and wine tasting, 7 mile hike through a snowy wonderland (Bear Lake), hot chocolate, s’mores, and checkers by the campfire. We bought a wildlife book and took it along on the trails so that we could identify Elk, Mule Deer, Magpie, Stellar Jay, etc. So, glad we bought the book. It really heightened the connection with the critters that we encountered. What an experience!
