The Last Two Weeks

We've been trying to keep busy and get through the rest of the winter as quickly as possible.  Here is a picture collage of the last two weeks.

Hannah has been doing a lot of sewing projects.  This is a dress that she made for Avery.

Hannah, Avery and the toys of the day.

We may be rushing spring a little, but this is the beginning of our garden.  This is a family project.  We chose the seeds together and planted them together.

So far our tomatoes are the only seedlings that have poked through.

Hannah finished her Abeka Math for the school year.  Her reward for finishing so early was a new Betta.

Since Hannah has shown such a strong interest in sewing, we started making a dress together.  The finished dress will be for the girls to share.

This was our first step. Pinning on the pattern and cutting the fabric.  The dress is almost finished.  I will post a picture of it soon.


This is one of my favorite things about homeschooling....

Not only does Hannah read to Avery all the time but she also teaches her.  I have to give Hannah a lot of credit for the fact that Avery knows all of her letters, their sounds and all of her numbers already.  It makes my job so much easier.


These are pictures from gym day.

Dress up and roll playing is a very popular activity in our house.

Hannah just lost another tooth.

Every once in a while I pull out various craft supplies and just let them use their imaginations.

 
They enjoy this more than our planned art projects.  It's interesting to see their finished artwork when they have no guidance at all.


Hannah making sugar cookies.  She's been doing more and more of the work when we bake.  As an added bonus, she is doing really well with fractions.

On March 1st we attended Dr.Seuss night at one of the local school's.  Our town has a party on his birthday every year for the children. The goal  is to celebrate literacy.  They set up a room full of tables with books and crafts, based on the books.  It is always a lot of fun.  The girls made a lot of projects and planted sunflowers.  After the craft portion of the night, there was a concert in the gym.  One of the local music teachers sang and played the guitar while the children danced and sang along.  Unfortunately, I forgot my camera in the car so we don't have any pictures to mark the event.  I do have a house for of art though.  We could start our own art exhibit.
