Becky made her property into a coordinate plane, gave the kids a map with ordered pairs, and had them find hidden clues for our mapmaker unit.

We collected items for hygiene kits for Hurricane Helene victims and the kids from our Wednesday night dinner church put the kits together. We assembled 100 of them for the High schoolers to take with them on their mission trip to North Carolina. 

The kids made a huge ship diagram and labeled all of the parts.

Simon wrote a book called, "The Heart of the Child." It is 19 chapters long.  He dictated it to me and I typed it for him and he illustrated it.  He is so proud and plans on writing four more books!

My 4/5K storytime kids made bird feeders after our bird storytime.

All 3 kids were good servers throughout our dinner church Wednesday nights.  I was so proud of their willingness to jump in and help!

March Homeschool

Our first birds at our new feeder - Pine Siskins!

I wasn't feeling well and Nolan made me breakfast in bed.

While I was under the weather, someone else opened the mail and Simon found his penguin squishmallow birthday present a little early!

We made adorable farm finger puppets together.

Nolan was invited to be interviewed by WJFW TV-12 about 4-H's Creative Arts Expo.  Though he was very nervous, he was well-spoken and poised and was a great representative for his club!

 

We finally watched "Wicked," complete with pink and green snacks.  We all LOVED it!

My 4/5K Storytime class painted fishes to go with our Ocean theme.

We finished up "Once Upon a Camel" with paper camel races, reports on the Desert biome, and of course, a sample of camel milk!

We started reading the book, "The Last Mapmaker," and started our own mapmaking project.  The kids painted their paper with coffee, let it dry, and then arranged rice in the desired shape of their land masses.  They traced around it and were left with their continent which they developed into a map, with landforms, landmarks, and all sorts of imagination!  Simon especially enjoyed this project!

Auntie Brigid came to visit and we went bowling together!
