March Homeschool Fun

March Fun!

This month was one of the craziest of the year. We were so busy with foster kids visiting and both sets of cousins visiting during their spring break. The amazing part is that we still stayed up on our homeschooling with just one week of spring break that we actually took. Here are a few things that we did this month.

At New Life Homeschool Co-op, Valerie has an awesome science teacher. She sent the kids home with bulbs to grow and books to keep track of the growth of their flower. At the bottom of the page, is a picture of her flower when it bloomed!


Lily has been studying the state of Washington. Here is a copy of her three paragraph paper on the state before she edited and re-wrote it! We are working on the editing process this week!





We also had fun at a kite festival. We made hats and had Chinese snacks.

The girls had fun decorating their kite.
 Their kite flew great! It was the perfect day for it! The kite only lasted a few days though. It got stuck in Lily's bike tire!
 Our co-op took a fun field trip to Sac River Stables to ride and groom horses! Very fun!


Here is Valerie's beautiful flower!


Spring is a hard time in the area of school. Kids want to be outside and need change. I looked through Lily's curriculum and she is way ahead in reading and writing. For the month of April, I plan to double up on math and history! I think Lily will enjoy that for a period. I want her to read and write more for fun right now! :)
