A Week of School in Pictures

Last week we did school outside a few days, since the weather was so cool, at least at the beginning of the week. Karis started her science/nature journal, drawing a picture in her fort from their swing set. (I am so reminded of my friend Laura's little girl, Bethany).

Karis' finished product, a tree and a pumpkin.

Noah climbed, while Karis worked.

We then moved school inside for our math lesson. Karis made her rectangles, while Noah made triangles and lines.

After school, we made our fall cut out cookies. I decided to let the kids do the whole process, help me mix up the dough, roll it out, and cut the cookies themselves.

Determination written all over her face

Steady hand finding a place for another cookie

The kids iced and decorated the cookies later that afternoon, and we shared some with our neighbors and the child watch ladies at the YMCA. It is a joy to see the kids wanting to share their cookies with others. I so enjoy being able to teach kindness, sharing, and love to others at home. (I also really enjoy cookies of any kind!!!!).
