I should have documented more of the form drawing activities, but they were all pretty similar, as far as how the girls moved and learned/felt/experienced the forms with different little stories that I'd usually make up or take from a fairy tale we told that week. HTH! LMK if you have more ?'s. I usually try to do form drawing on Fridays, along with water color painting, but sometimes we don't get to what we've planned (gotta be honest about that!)

Did you introduce one running form a week in a separate form drawing block (say on Wednesday?).<br /><br />Thanks!<br />CatherineCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513911177615259519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-37447026944587711902010-01-08T03:26:26.814-08:002010-01-08T03:26:26.814-08:00Hi Jen,
We seem to use a lot of similar resources ...Hi Jen,<br />We seem to use a lot of similar resources for Grade 1 and it is so intersting to have a peek at your fantastic angle of Grade 1. I love that you incorporate yoga. I hope to introduce that a bit too. What do you use for yoga, Jen! There is some yoga in the Earchschooling resources - do you draw from that source? We finished our Quality of Numbers in December and this week taking it easy so start up again next week. It is all going so well and, boy, this learning is so much fun and works well for us all! I just love it. I am always impressed by how well organised and well-planned you are. I tend to be a bit free-flowing and take us all out for long treks outdoors a lot of the day so a chunk of our 'learning' is done out there on our walks as we trek along or hang from trees. Also right now I just can't seem to stay awake to plan much in the evenings. Seem to need lots of hibernating.<br />Have a lovely day.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803468440764742603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-56886265879460045002010-01-05T11:46:40.157-08:002010-01-05T11:46:40.157-08:00You should post her (befana doll).

It's such as fun story & thing to do in early January, but it's so obscure that no one rally knows about it. We skipped the doll this year, and just baked biscotti & had story time with the Child of Light Befana story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-24508800447463537512010-01-05T07:58:01.100-08:002010-01-05T07:58:01.100-08:00Thanks Donna and Jenn.

It makes it so lively and tailored to the individual child or children, but it is also a lot more work - lol! Certainly keeps one on their toes but I love that I can work in ideas from others and my own. I am really excited about Grade 3 with your fabulous blog to inspire and pull from! So thank you again for all the great posts you put out! p.s. we made our raggedy Befana doll yesterday and it turned out so cute :D Will have to post a shot tomorrow! She's headed outside this morning!!!!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08272157134061700589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-11522800084930994092010-01-05T07:22:23.226-08:002010-01-05T07:22:23.226-08:00Wow!
