Posted in FIAR book activities
We started our school year back on January 7th, right after Epiphany. It was nice to have the whole Christmas season fit so well with the school year. Our snow book was fun, even if the weather didn’t oblige by producing actual snow. We again made online snowflakes at www.popularfront.com/snowdays.
Ted picked up a pen pal (or e-pal) this week; on a parenting forum I frequent, another homeschool mom was looking for a pen pal about Ted’s age. They only corresponded a few times, and then we never heard back, but it was fun while it lasted. Ted hasn’t seemed to notice, at least.
Ted has also been playing around with Microsoft Word, and he’s teaching himself to use the clip art feature. He does fairly well, though he can’t always spell the keywords he needs to search for pictures, so I help him with those. He loves to print up pages of clip art and words and then cut them all out. I have to be careful he doesn’t paste them to the wall!
