Day 2

Day 2 went even better than day 1!!!! I was looking for a workbook for Sam and stumbled upon an animal workbook. The kids each read and answered the questions. Shane even asked to do a second page! It's funny, Jackson was doing handwriting and whining about 'it's hard' but when it was answering questions about animals, he wrote long sentences all on his own!
Explode the Code!



Learning about the walrus.

Counting oranges.


We're learning about cells this week, I love when they are interested in what they're learning. They had a great time coloring the parts of a cells and labeling. We learned the largest single cell is the yolk of an ostrich egg. Did you know that?
Watching a video of people cracking an ostrich egg!
Using a drill to open the egg






Sam's cell, turned into a person.

I did a lot of work on the school room over break, but somehow I forgot about this giant pile of papers that need filed. At least they are dated and graded.
This is my best clearance find this school year.
