Sasha is also in grade 2, we are a little behind because we had our extended vacation. I am ready the King of Ireland for his lang.arts some of it is a little confusing but he seems to enjoy the story. I will open amazon now to find the knights of grail. The girls are doing beautiful work. <br /><br />How nice of you to make all those cookies for the animal rescue. Jen, I now have 3 street dogs. This evening Sasha said to me,, Mom, why do people buy dogs, you can just get them from the street and it's free, can we keep them all! the last one now sleeps beside our bed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12637731468344732953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-25378543724278901492011-01-13T13:01:33.259-08:002011-01-13T13:01:33.259-08:00Thank you so much for sharing your work here, Jen!...Thank you so much for sharing your work here, Jen!

Homeschooling is REALLY fun! It...Thanks mamas! Homeschooling is REALLY fun! It's also frustrating, at times, as we all can attest to - lol! But I love that we can be flexible around our children. If they grasp a concept, we can move faster - if not, we can alter it, review it, slow it down, etc.<br /><br />Cathy, yes for this lesson, I left the tree "as is". I thought it was an important part of the lesson to reinforce the whole to parts and also, that it is all tied down to *oneness*. Another great way to show this is to take a long, thin stick and break it into two, then crack the two into four, into eight, etc...<br /><br />Leaving the drawing in place also made it easier to progress with the lesson - lol. We have to make sure the drawings don't bog the lesson or our children down, so keeping it simple is recommended here :)<br /><br />Blessings to you ladies!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08272157134061700589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-44710217260693696522011-01-13T07:04:06.209-08:002011-01-13T07:04:06.209-08:00Thank you so much for sharing this.

I feel so fortunate to have you paving the way ahead of me (we are finishing up grade one).<br /><br />It looks like you kept the same blackboard drawing and then just adapted the tree growth each day, is that right? This is such a clear demonstration of whole to parts - I love it!Cathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-11225771814956489242011-01-12T23:50:19.117-08:002011-01-12T23:50:19.117-08:00Fatastic Jen.
