School at Home and More Changes

We finished studying ancient Egypt at the start of the month. As our final project we made Egyptian bracelets and amulets from salt dough.  The kids had so much fun.  I took pictures of them making the bracelets and amulets, but not of them painting them.


 
 
We also finished the skeleton unit we were studying in Science.  We watched Stanley the Skeleton and the kids learned so many of the bones.  I took some pictures of them watching, measuring their bones and filling in their lapbooks.
 
 


I paired Princess and Buddy together.  Fairy and Baby Girl worked together.  I explained to the older girls I wanted them to ask the younger children the answer first to give them a chance.  They worked well together and found all the answers with no fighting.
 

They used the computer to look up how many bones in the body.  The bigger girls looked it up then the younger kids remembered it so that the older girls could write it down.
 
 
We are pulling Fairy from the K12 school we have been using.  The girls will be working together to complete all the things they know for school.
