Well we have just been keeping busy around here. The weather has been so nice it is hard to keep anyone indoors to do schoolwork. That is the joy of homeschooling! Zack has just finished his 4th grade math. Kaylee has two more lessons in here 1st grade math. She also only has 2 more lessons in her phonics book. I can't believe the progress we have made even starting late. Kaylee has also really taken off with her reading. I am so proud of how far the kids have come this year. Next year we will be adding Avery to the mix! I didn't focus too much this year. When she wanted to we did some work. She is only three! People take pre-school too seriously. We have also still been enjoying our lapbooks. Right now we are working on a butterfly one. Kaylee really thrives in learning this way. Our next one is on coral reefs.
The kids also finished up their swimming lessons. They all passed! Avery's teacher says she is awesome and got the forms down really easily. I was very impressed with all of them.
We also took another field trip with our homeschool group to the phoenix zoo. The kids had a great time as always!
This week is astonomy week and we have been doing thigs all week to celebrate. On Saturday we went to the astonomy club at the lake and we got to see saturn throught the telescope. It was so cool! You could even see the rings. We have went to a few things at the library also. On Saturday we will be getting up early to go to a park to clean up for earth day.
Zack's boy scout pinewood derby is tomorrow along woth his meeting where he will get his bear patch and a couple others. He is a little sad because he will be missing his first baseball game! I will try to post pictures of that!
