We did school right up to the Friday before Christmas and focused mainly on getting ahead in our "bookwork" since we're planning on some interesting on-the-road school in January. My little perfectionist missed her first spelling word (noise) on one of her spelling tests, but I was proud of her for not taking it too hard. She also learned a valuable lesson about slowing down and checking her work! The girls are both moving right along in all their subjects, and I'm still loving teaching them! I'm pretty sure they are geniuses, but I might be just a tad biased! Here's a video of Emma Lee explaining how to classify a sentence:
We did find a little extra time to do a few fun activities this month. We visited a local museum that we hadn't been to before for their Festival of Trees and had fun checking out a few others things there as well.
 |
| They loved all the pretty trees decorated in different themes and from different countries. |
 |
| Kerri wanted to eat the stuff on the baking tree! |
 |
| Very interested in the toy tree. |
 |
| I thought this was a creative tree topper for the fishing tree. |
 |
| We made a few ornaments of our own while we were there |
 |
| and checked out their map/globe room. |
 |
| Emma Lee's favorite country right now is India, so she found it on the globe. |
 |
| We also saw a little animal show. This parrot, Georgia, was their favorite! |
They also got a chance to shop for each other in the Secret Shoppe they had set up there (unfortunately, their gifts didn't remain a secret for even a full day!). They loved the experience though!
We also had a couple of cookie and gingerbread house decorating days with some friends.
The girls did a little sewing, and made these cute little trees.
They took their work very seriously
and were so proud of their finished products.
(and as these pictures prove - we don't always get dressed or fix our hair before school...just another perk)
School will start back for us on January 5th. We'll be on the road visiting some very important places!
