Friday Funnies:
Alanna sent a picture to Nana and Papa of her eating some chicken off of the bone. (It was her first time ever.)  A couple of days later, they send a picture back of them holding drum sticks and eating it off the bone.  She thought it was so fun!  A couple of days ago, she said, "Take a picture of me using these chopsticks and see if Nana and Papa will send a picture back to me using chopsticks too."  Then she got a puzzled look and said "Wait, do they even have chopsticks in Arkansas?!?!?!"  HAHAHAHA!

Yesterday, Nana sent this picture of a fuzzy caterpillar to Alanna and told her that she would sent it to her to take to the Nature Exchange.  Alanna looked at my phone, looked at me, and then said "Why would Nana put a mustache in a bag and send it to me?"  LOL!!!!!!

Home School Week 3-4:

 While studying a unit on weather, we made a windsock so that Alanna could see which way the wind was blowing each day.  We also made a tornado in a bottle and rainbow on the wall.  Alanna also learned about all 4 kinds of clouds and drew each one.  Fun stuff!!  Daddy had fun with this week because he has a weather degree. =)
 We practice cutting to work on her fine motor skills.  She was very proud of her rainbow ice cream cone.
 Alanna's favorite subject so far is math!  She begs to do it and we usually end up doing 2-3 lessons a day!  Can you believe that?  I would have NEVER guessed!!
The things I have discovered since becoming my child's teacher, is that she is a doodler!  She loves to draw and doodle all the time.  Look at the circles in her math book!  HAHA!

We love school and look forward to it each day.  
4 weeks down, 32 to go! 

Homeschool Rocks!

We Made A Rainbow:

We have been homeschooling now for a week and half.  It has been so much fun and I think I am learning right along with Alanna!  A couple of days ago, we studied about weather and what causes it to happen.  We talked about rain and rainbows.
We took a bowl of water, put a mirror in it, and then watched how it projected a rainbow on the wall.  So much fun!!  Alanna was SO proud her herself.

Homeschool Rocks!
