Week 8 - A Cheerful Giver

I started writing this post feeling defeated.  Two weeks now, and I feel we are spinning our wheels with school.  Not getting much accomplished.  However, by the time I finished editing the pictures, I realized... a lot of learning took place this week.  Perhaps not quantifiable with a standardized test, but my children learned much about life.  No doubt.



We stayed on GIVING, learning the song, and reading spatial books such as Go, Dog, Go (which Isa read by herself), and From Head to Toe.  We painted with tiny paintbrushes, and worked on handwriting.  We practiced veggies/fruits at the grocery store.  So at the end of the day, I can't complain, and we have to celebrate the progress we did make.  Oh, we also made homemade applesauce, apple jelly, butter, ricotta cheese, buttermilk, and cream cheese.  And started Diaper Liberation Week.

Enjoy!

PS - Any ideas on why Isa is writing her entire name backward, from right to left?  Could it have anything to do with her being left-handed?  (See pic below)
