quick update
|
HAve had a busy few weeks , The girls and I were sick all at different times of course. This reduced homeschooling to many many storytimes  This week we have started getting back on track. We did friday night fun at the library, Serena loves that. Its just a storytime really, but they have lots of sillyness and songs fun all around. Iris enjoys it too, and enjoys being at the library, looking at the different toys they have and walking all about. Sitting to do any paper work is nearly impossible right now because of Iris(13 months) I am trying to plan things for her naptime but often serena and I also need a nap so that goes out the window. We have been doing lots of carschooling  Serena is getting very good at spelling three letter words with a short vowel in the middle. When we are in the car I ask her to spell things like hat, pop, hum, egg, and she is getting great at it. I also got some neat poetry books with cds that we can turn on in the car. This entertains both serena and Iris. Iris must like the music or maybe its the rhyming but she laughs and kicks her feet the whole time its on. I think the name of their favorite is "Kansas city octopus" but i will have to look next time we are in the car to be sure. Serena and I watched "Out of Africa" the other night and talked all about africa found it on the globe and map during commercials. talked about olden days, wich is still a bit of a stretch for her. We talked about how different the landscapes are in africa compared to here in missouri. Africa is not the continent we are doing this month, we are actually doing asia, but it was to good an oppurtunity to pass up. Am trying to think of a good movie that is set in asia. We are preparing for our upcoming vacation. We are so excited to be going to Texas. First going to Bonham TX to TIa Lydias house where we will be staying along with Nana and Poppa and cousins Richie and Sierra . There is a replica of a log cabin at a small museum in bonham which we will probably go see to fit in with little house. The whole family is also going to go to the dallas aquarium. We have been getting ready for that by visiting their website and finding out all about the fishes we will see there. This led to a virtual side trip to the chicago aqarium where their are BIG sharks, Serena id really interested in those. After staying with Tia Lydia for a couple days we are off to dallas for a vacation/ field trip. more on that later. |
