A few pictures from some recent school days…
Can anyone guess what we’ve been studying for science this past month?
Nathan, in particular, is utterly fascinated by the human body, veins, arteries, blood, bones, etc.
Mary, working on her geography puzzle of the United States & Canada.
Savvy, very diligently trying to work the big kids addition puzzle. (she’s a little young for it though! )
Nathan working on a 4 layer puzzle that covers the seasons- each layer is a picture of the same scene in a different season.
All three kids have been thoroughly obsessed with the poet Shel Silverstein- we’ve read from this book every day for the last 3 weeks! Here are a few of our favorites:
Woulda Coulda Shoulda
All the Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
Layin’ in the sun,
Talkin’ bout the things
They woulda-coulda-shoulda done…
But those Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
All ran away and hid
From one little did.
The Folks Inside
Inside you, boy,
There’s an old man sleepin’,
Dreamin’ waitin’ for his chance.
Inside you, girl,
There’s an old lady dozin’,
Wantin’ to show you a slower dance.
So keep on playin’,
Keep on runnin’,
Keep on jumpin’, til the day
That those old folks
Down inside you
Wake up … and come out and play.
The Toy Eater
You don’t have to pick up your toys, okay?
You can leave ‘em right there on the floor,
So tonight when the Terrible Toy-Eatin’ Tookle
Comes tiptoeing’ in through the crack in the door,
He’ll crunch all your soldiers, he’ll munch on your trucks,
He’ll chew your poor puppets to shreds,
He’ll swallow your Big Wheel and slurp up your paints
And bite off your dear dollies’ heads.
Then he’ll wipe off his lips with the sails of your ship,
And making a bur pity noise,
He’ll slither away– but hey, that’s okay,
You don’t have to pick up your toys.
Mary with her phonics book.
Savvy, engrossed in some books.
