One Crafty Momma: Creation Day 3

Today was another fun lesson! We had some visitors with us today! My desire to home school has been one that I battled with. A great friend of mine, Elizabeth Norton, has been a great supporter and encourager, as she is also home schooling her kids! We wanted to get an idea for how the other does school, so this week she visited us! I hope we can continue doing school together once a week. It is such a good feeling to know you aren't alone in a venture like this!

Elizabeth has 3 kids. Kalli, who is 5, Wells, who is 2, and Collins, who is 5 months. Wells was in and out of our lesson, but Kalli and Abbie did fabulous! (Of course Brady & Collins were there and happy!)

Today, we focused on Day 3 of God's Creation. We reviewed Days 1 & 2 since Kalli wasn't here for those. We talked about flowers & trees and why they are so important, and after circle time... the girls colored their own flowers and put them on their #3 poster number! Kalli is obviously more advanced than Abbie, being 2 years her elder, so she was allowed to cut her own flowers out!

After the poster numbers were finished we worked on writing their names. I made Kalli a sheet like Abbie's for her to practice writing her name as well. They both did a great job. We also briefly discussed the color RED, and they each tried to find something in the room that was red.

When we finished name practice, we planted a flower in a small jar which I found at Target! Then we finished our morning off with a fun snack! Pear and apple slices from the tree branches and cheese sticks formed the trunk... snack trees!

We had a great morning, and the kids had a blast playing when the lesson was finished... have I mentioned how much I enjoy home schooling Abbie so far?!?!
