The human body

I was so proud of the girls. This week, we weren't feeling the greatest, so we weren't doing lapbooks or anything like that for science or history. We just took it easy and read a lot of library books about the human body. Some of those books included The Magic School Bus: Inside the Human Body, A Drop of Blood, and Your Skin and Mine. The girls seemed to learn a lot. On Thursday, they decided they wanted to trace my body and then draw some things they learned about on the inside of our bodies. They did a great job with absolutely NO HELP from me (except for tracing me)! I was so proud of them. They drew it on a table cloth and wanted to surprise Daddy when he came home from work. The table cloth was put on the table for him to see when he walked in! :) Pictures of their work are below.

Behavior Chart

I found a behavior chart image online that I really liked because it detailed, but I couldn't find a website to print one. So I made my own. I did this in photoshop and if you would like to print one for yourself you can here . After I printed it, I hung it in a picture frame and can use dry erase markers to check off.

Solar System Bracelets

Well, it was that time again - to learn about the solar system, galaxies, how we get our seasons, the moon phases, etc. You can check out our Space Unit that we completed a couple years ago, when we covered space. Meant To Teach: What's out there in space??? Also, here is the solar system we completed a couple of years ago. Meant To Teach: Solar System Complete This time I decided to do something different with the girls. I might add, it was also much easier than our solar system above. I decided to do solar bracelets this time!

I Gave Up Control

I've not posted very much this year, probably because this year we've been so relaxed with our schooling and the girls have been very independent that there has really not been much that I could think to write on. Plus, with my girls being so much more independent I've been working more with my photography business. My oldest also has her first job and we just stay super busy. However, in looking back where I was a year and a half ago to today I started to think about our journey and where it's gotten us. In previous posts, you will have seen where we stopped doing school completely. My kids didn't stop learning, but the textbooks stopped. We gained SO much from that 7 months that are beyond all textbooks. You can read on our previous journey on the links below. We Quit School Child Led Learning in JUST the First Week What If We Trust? There's Value in Being Relaxed Today I decided that I wanted to talk about more than what this journey did with our s
