Good morning! Here I am posting later than normal, but I thought I'd share how much fun it was to take school outside of the classroom and to the great outdoors. I see a lot more outdoor learning in our future.
On Friday I decided that we would just take one subject to learn. It was in the low 50s, but it was freezing. There was a cold wind. I figured math would be the best option because they are both great in math and stay pretty focused.
First though, we picked up McD's for lunch.
Xander was actually taking a test that day. He did great! Maybe it was all the fresh air?!
Sterling had to find the missing addend. This is one area she hates, but I think she finally figured it out because she zipped right through it.
After their lessons were done, they hit the park and played for an hour.
While they played, I was talking to other homeschooling parents. They had a meet-up just after we arrived, so we started talking.
When we got home, I had a package waiting. I wasn't expecting a big box because I'm waiting on a book that was ordered at the beginning of the month. So, when I saw a big box, I thought, wow Amazon, you sure are wasting boxes again. #notthefirsttime To my surprise, there was a Valentines gift. I can't wait to use it. It's a foot massage!
On Saturday, while the kids were playing outside all day, I whipped up some cake sandwiches. Back in the day when I was a kid, my mom had this machine that she'd always make cake in. I loved them so much that I bought myself this machine last month.
They take only 2.5 minutes
Perfection
Sterling helped frost. I think she smelled the goodness outside and came in to see what I was up to.
So good!
Yesterday we cleaned hard and worked in Sterling's room. I got rid of three bags of clothes from her room. There's still probably more, but for now, it's a start. I haven't officially started anywhere outside of my room. 2019 is my year to get everything organized and have less.
Have a great day!
