Walking with her homemade wind sock.
In phonics we have started to cover the silent letters. Her reading is getting more fluent and we have begun the 4th set in the Bob Book series for her to read to me at bedtime. Thank goodness for inter library loans that I didn't actually have to buy the 4th set. A money saver that is:) We have begun a review of lessons 14-18 in Spelling Workout. Her writing the words out is currently our only handwriting practice, but for the moment that's all I am going to use until she gets more comfortable with printing. She doesn't really like to write a lot so I think adding handwriting again will be overkill.
Collecting Pinecones
Math has become a less time intensive subject for us since we dropped Saxon. She worked on odd and even numbers, telling time on a digital clock, and skip counting practice. In French we worked on people in a family, made a small family tree and learned how to introduce people in the family. Next week we work on colours.
Making a wish. I'm sure the neighbors love the fact that the Dandelion seeds blew all over their lawn.
Art class is always fun, but this week she got to make a fairy garden. Since fairies are close to her heart, she really enjoyed this project. We finished Pinnochio this week and have started to read The Wizard of Oz as our next read aloud. I'm trying to figure out what to read after this so I can make sure the library has it and put it on hold, but I am drawing a blank. I am open to any suggestions for books you may have enjoyed with your kids. I think I hear rain beginning and I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will cool the temperature and not make it more humid. I need to move someplace that has cooler summers, I hate the heat:)

We are in the heat, too, although in the states. I feel your pain! I love her fairy garden, that is adorable!

Roo reminds me of a character in a book- She is so cute!!
We have been doing the colours section and Kai loves to play I spy in french.
This week we have been reading Mr. Popper Penguin's but Kai has also enjoyed Where The Red Fern Grows, Because of Winn-Dixie, and Despereaux.
His Favorite thing we are doing right now is reading the Usborne Time Travellor book- Roo might like it too! He asked to read it all weekend and studies the pages forever!!!
Hmm, what else can I recommend?? Oh, we bought Snap Circuits Jr. like Satori has and it is a huge hit!!!
Hope things cool down for you!!
