Sunshiney days are always good for homeschool, wouldn’t you say? This day of spring sunshine I thought I’d share the benefits of the past week.
All those things we enjoy in a regular week because we homeschool. A few snapshots of the regular and some highlights of learning.
Reading about weather just for fun.
Math with the cat.
Sisters playing.
Soaking in the bath midday to rinse off the mud.
Noticing nesting nuthatches.
Baking experiments with double chocolate cookies.
St. Patrick’s Day Cooking Fun, millions of muffins, doubling pancakes.
Rainbow Math (thanks to an idea from Phyllis @ All Things Beautiful). Adapted with rainbow Goldfish crackers. The littlest ones sorted colors 🙂
Sketch Tuesday.
Stopping to watch the trash truck and wave at sanitary workers.
Felt boards!
Nature Study: Outdoor Hour Spring Flowers. Notebook pages after breakfast.
New Mathtacular. Experiments from Discover and Do DVD.
Writing Grandma.
Planting trillium transplants from Mama Ann’s yard.
Math on the patio in the morning sunshine.
Eating from the pantry. Two weeks of cheap eats.
Working extra hard one day, taking a day off to stomp through the creek at Mama Ann’s with Aunt Mary Ann! More mud!
My two eldest laughing together.
The biggest news was, of course, littlest girl losing her first tooth! And telling the story in her own words.
We’ve been doing the basics and concentrating on finishing up our science projects and history display boards for Homeschool Expo next week! What have you been up to?
Love this idea of taking pictures specifically of what you can’t do in public school! I see a new photo-venture for my week!
Love it….so much learning AND fun!
Yay for sunshine! Looks like a good week. I love how happy every one looks. What a treasure.
So much learning and fun, and most importantly a loving bond that forms from having all those little moments together.
Awesome! Isn’t it wonderful to have the flexibility to delved into interests? Stopping by from Weekly Wrap-up!
What a fun week, and what a fun post!
Isn’t that the truth? Great post!!!
Wow, looks like everyone had a great time. The pictures are wonderful.

Such a great week. Love all the pictures.
Thank you all for your kind comments! I just love capturing the every day sorts of things 🙂
What a wonderful week! I’m always amazed at how well you weave “regular” life into your home ed. I laughed at math with the cat, since Jasper, our corgi, joins us on the couch for all readings. Congrats to littlest girl on losing her first tooth!
Best pictures ever!
Forever,
Nana
finally getting to read through the weekly wrap up from last week. sounds like you had a busy week and i am really impressed with all you fit in. i have 4 mobile boys now and i totally understand the midday bath rinse off. can’t wait till it’s warm enough outside to just hose them out there!!
Love the look into your life! I found myself agreeing with it and shaking my head.
LOVE THIS, I mean truly LOVE this!!! I felt peace, joy, warmth, love when I read your words and looked at the pics!
What beautiful pictures! You’ve captured all that makes homeschooling so wonderful!
You are so creative!! I love these pictures of your family and the crafts–and the baked goods!!! Thanks for linking up and sharing these. You have a beautiful family!
Oh, these pictures make we *wish we lived closer IRL! It’s a joy to at least get to know you through the web 🙂 I love your heart, your family and your homeschool.
