Simple delights

The week is moving along at a steady pace and we are making good head way with our learning. On Monday night, I was so encouraged at the meeting with the Pillar Mom. She is so wise and always makes us laugh too. I took a friend along whose home ed journey is about to take off. We had a wonderful time and it was great to see some of the moms I have not seen in a while. I came away encouraged to do more" hands on" learning and to just show more love to the children in all we do and have FUN!


Today we were delighted to see that a Laughing Dove has made its nest in our back gardens tree. Gods timing is just so perfect..... the children climbed the tree for closer inspection and are looking forward to the sound of the chicks cheeping when they hatch. They also set up a bird bath in the garden and are hoping to see our feathered friends taking a bath soon!


Yesterday they had the opportunity to observe their aunt and uncles cockatiel . He has been moulting and they were pleased to find down feathers and a flight feather at the bottom of the cage.


We have been making a lapbook on animal classification which has been loads of fun. I found it free on homeschool share. They have some amazing freebies there to enhance ones homeschool education.


K has completed her little quilt and I think she has done a great job for her first try. She has been working away at it while we read. Our current books are The Jungle Book and Citizen Bird, which we are enjoying enormously.


K will take her quilt to Acts on Saturday and she will be sewing up to make a purse.
