The End Of The Tunnel.

E and L finished their PACE work books!! They have one friction science experiment to do along with monthly verses and PE for April and May and they are FINISHED SCHOOL!!!! J finished his PACE's a few days later amid much excitement!!

I'm already looking into curriculum for next year and we are still planning on doing what I call fun school and the kids know as FUN!! all spring, summer and fall :) Along with math review and lots of reading.

I guess I should say my kids LOVE their PACE work! They really do! They enjoy reading the stories and coloring the pictures and finishing pages and check ups. It takes them 4 days to go through a PACE. Tests and all and we all love how fast they can finish one and head on over to the next one. You never know what will strike their imagination or funny bone or their minds and I very much enjoy listening to them tell me what they are learning. BUT that being said.. Spring is arriving, abet slowly, and they are eager to go outside and PLAY in the MUD and GRASS and BUS and do OUTSIDE SPRING STUFF like bike riding and PACE's are really taking a backseat to fresh air and sun! And that is how it should be :)

So as it stands tonight as I finish off this post. L and E have their one science project to do with Papa And J has 2 art project and a science worm farm to do and they all have verses and PE for April and May to do and we are DONE for the term!! With Papa being home we're not getting that much school time :) (also how it should be as we are busy with other projects) and I imagine we MIGHT get these projects done next week... or we might not. I'm not stressing the end of the tunnel is around me and I'm basking in the sunshine that streams into it :)

Having a 'spot of tea' with their new hats from Grandma while the sun shines in!!

Hard And Soft Sounds~ School Fun.

A tiny science experiment :) Glass cups filled with different levels of water and a spoon are all you need to hear soft and hard sounds. Just tap the cups with the spoon and compare sounds. Super fun!!
