Skyler has taught herself a new little hobby!! She is making Littlest Pet Shop videos! Everything she has done has been completely on her own I wouldn't even know where to start. She took a broken phone started making videos, learned to post them on you tube, even how to edit pics and such all on her own! I am just a bit proud. She makes these elaborate little scenes for them. She has given them whole life stories for their backgrounds and everything!
She calls her channel LPS TOO MUCH CANDY! It is so adorable. She has even made banners for it and everything. She will also sub anyone who subs her so if your kiddos are looking for subscribers feel free!!
That is just one of her little videos, some are pretty long!
She has even taught herself editing and such all on her own.
I think it is awesome she took it upon herself to learn how to do things without anyone helping. I am not the techy mom so it is always good to have kiddos who are!!!
On Fathers Day the girl had a fun day at Jurassic Quest in Orlando. IT WAS AWESOME!!!!! We have all always loved dinosaurs. Even my college girl had a blast seeing the larger than life dinos! The park travels so I suggest you check out when they will be near by to go.
Both girl loved the animatronics the best. They loved seeing them move. The biggest complaint was the heat. The heat has been terrible this year. They were little troopers though getting to see the dinosaurs, fossils, learn about stuff, and even do some crafts! Yes even my college girl does crafts!!! She lets her guard down when it is family outings like this. She don't have to be the tough older kid she can just be kid!!
All in all it was an awesome girl versus dinosaur day!!!!!
The weather is getting so very hot lately!! We have been sleeping late and not wanting to do anything. Skyler and Fox both started new lessons in their math u see books! YAY!!! Skyler was not too thrilled with finding areas of parallelograms. Once she remembered the two steps though it went much easier. Of course the cat helped. I mean really don't every little girl need a cat to do math with? Stella Luna hasn't grown as much as I thought she would. She was a tiny kitten when we found her. We were at Big Lots and there she was by the door crying her eyes out. She ran right to Skyler and best friends were born. The cashier inside said she had been coming in early that day when a van pulled up and she saw a mans boot kick the poor thing out the side door. Sometimes I hate going to town we always see this.
Damian is still chugging right along in his journal and math book. He is my kid who hates pics so I gotta sneak those in when I can!!
Damian always gets confused with area and perimeter so he drew some in his journal on the math page to do himself!
Skyler is still set on using the journal for two alongside her funschool spelling book.
Fox is learning to change mixed fractions into improper fractions and improper into mixed. He said this was one of the easiest things he had done for fractions so far! He is not liking fractions at all.
As usual he does his school anywhere at all! For pottery this week Skyler got to pick up the bowl she had finished and start making a candle holder. As usual I love how her projects have turned out!!
She also decided that all the dollhouse furniture she already owns is not enough and she needed to make more. This week the house has become a craft space everywhere. Cardboard, sequins, colored tape and felt have taken residence all over the place. And beads a lot of beads too!!
Happy Week Everyone!!!!!!!
We are just moving right along! This week was for sure a bit tense. Our three dogs were skunked and little Skyler Bay had some sinus issues so we had an unscheduled doc appt. I do not like those! It also took days of bathing the monsters to get rid of the smell before we could let them back in the house! We still managed school though. The kids are still moving on with their journals and their math. THE HATED MATH! The kids were so funny asking if they could have a fun movie day. They picked 10,000 BC for their fun movie. Funny kiddos.
During the movie Skyler got to color in her color book from The Thinking Tree so she was pretty happy. I didn't even have the heart to tell her she didn't have a movie that day!
Skyler is still enjoying the funschooling spelling by The Thinking tree of course! This was originally meant for next year but when she saw it she wanted it now so who am I to say no? That left me open to but another Thinking tree Spelling for her next year!!
She is also still moving on in her journal for two.
Fox is still going in his dyslexia games book as well as his journal. He has also passed another math lesson so YAY!!!
Damian is moving right along in his journal as well. School days have become smoother. They have become more enjoyable and I often hear Mom, did you know...? From each of the kids daily!
That pretty much wraps up our week. I hope everyone else has a great week as well! We are linking up with Homeschooling6 and her Thinking Tree posts!! Also visit her spelling sale from The Thinking Tree!
The week was busy and full as usual! Damian has finally moved into another math book, Fox and Skyler both have passed lessons in theirs and we had our last week of co-op. No pottery this week that was a nice little afternoon off! We also went to learn about bats at the library! We love bats, this is the second field trip this year that has had to do with bats!
We do school all over the house!! Damian is still working in his new journal, review to come soon I hope, time permitting that is.
Skyler is still working in her journal for 2 by The Thinking Tree. She has also doing her creative writing in her writing research book also by The Thinking Tree (My Review). It is animal based so you know it must have been made for her.
We also watch cats play when we are bored LOL.
Forgive the mess but my children are busy making memories. We live here it is not perfect all the time. I aim for empty trash, washed laundry and happy kids on most days! On to our field trip. BATS BATS BATS did I mention we love bats!!!
Fossils are always cool.
Blurry pic but this little guy is just heart stealing. Bats are amazing creatures so if you have issues with them take some time to research them. They are also more closely related to humans than rats, who they have nothing genetic wise in common with. So calling them rats with wings is fairly uneducated!!
For co-op we had homework! We had to build a machine to squeeze toothpaste out of the tube. This is what my very un creative kiddos came up with and yes I am proud. Fox is my builder so this was a challenge for them.
GOOD JOB!!!!!
For co-op this week it was all about electricity. All of the activities we did plus more are posted on the amazing Miss. Shannons site.
Look at Damian HE IS LAUGHING!!!
We learned about static electricity what fun! The little girl above really enjoyed her self!
Played a game about the flow of electricity when we flip the light switches.
We lit lights with a battery and played with some snap circuits.
It was the last co-op class. That was kinda sad cause we had so much fun. I loved all the new moms I met and cannot wait to see them all again.
To finish up our week Fox and Skyler made Miss. Shannons Egyptian Bread. We learned this in another co-op run by Shannon a few years ago and it is a favorite for Fox. He also completely adores Shannon so that is why it is called her bread not just bread!
