This week we went to an Ostrich farm with our homeschool co-op.  Before we went on the trip I read some information to the kids so they would know a little about the animal they were going to see.

 

Some of the animals on the farm.



Kids loved holding the one-eyed chicken or like they called "Pirate Chicken".



Meet several of their ostriches and got to learn about them, the owner definitely has done his research on these beautiful animals.

U.S. NOTEBOOK

 

Completed her memory verse and then finished coloring her state worksheets.

TIMELINE

 

Added Civil War to the timeline, she said she needed to wear her mask to place the card on the timeline.

ART



Went to Home Depot for our monthly workshop and the kids got to build and paint their own periscope.

SCIENCE

We saw some construction work and they quickly talked about Energy and Force and then we went across a bridge and they talked about Bridge Gaps, expansion and contraction.  We also did the gravity test with feathers and a box but I didn't take any pictures.  It was a lot of fun testing gravity with different objects.  Love how they can see the world around them and quickly remember the things we learned at home.  Makes homeschooling so much more rewarding.

 

Kanani made an awesome road with tunnels, bridges, and caves for all her cars to go through.  Wish I could of gotten a better picture of it.  Love her imagination.

Very proud of her hard work.

NATURE WALK 


Having fun outside with the family 



Let Larry Boy out to enjoy some vitamin D.

 

We were quite surprised with how much fun Hulk had outside, he went exploring all over the yard and even dug a hole.



Yoda was more scared than Hulk, he didn't want to explore at first.  Once he felt comfortable he went exploring.

VIDEOS

We really didn't watch tv instead we opted to see the world as our tv.

ACTIVITIES



Went to the library for story time and games, the theme was sports ball.



The balloon is almost as big as they are.

After reading about Energy, Forces, Hot and Cold - heat is a form of energy, expansion and contraction we actually went and ran some errands around town and the kids kept pointing out different things that we had talked about.  I was actually surprised they had actually listened to me, PROUD MAMI MOMENT! We also learned more about Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War, and Gravity, 

GOD BLESS!
