Homeschool and Field Trips

We've have been super busy with our work and field trips the past two weeks.

Kalee is doing very well homeschooling and she loves it. We've been working on fractions a little bit but mostly addition and subtraction facts. We are working on Addition and Subtraction Lapbooks to help her out.

I finally found something Gracee enjoys. She has been a bit of a challenge. She is so eager to learn and wants to do everything big sister does so she gets to do some of it with us. But we started on an Alpha bugs lapbook. I will have to take pictures to post on here. They both LOVE doing lapbooks. So far we have done "A" for Ants and we learned all about the different kinds of ants. We did the Butterfly for the letter "B" and loved looking at our butterfly books and all the beautiful butterflys out there. She is really enjoying it! This week we are going to start on Cricket for the letter "C" She is excited about that. We are also starting on a Halloween Lapbook for both girls! So we are busy busy busy!!

In September we went to the Arboertum to the Mommy and Me day! The girls got to pet some animals, see a pumpkin patch, do a craft and sing and play. We missed out on getting our faces painted because of not so great adverstising. But we made it up to them with ice cream and they seemed happy about that! :)

Last week we went to the Ft. Worth Zoo for "Homeschool Day" and we got to see some baby lions and tigers...they were so cute!!!! Here are lots of pictures from both trips!
