First Day of School 2022-2023

 August 1, 2022

 Riley is in 5th, August is in 2nd, and Nora is in Kindergarten.

This year we are covering medieval times in history. For science we are  covering space first then animal classification and biomes. It should be a fun year!

August can't resist making silly faces!

I made cinnamon bread for the first day of school!

I am not sure what planet this is but it's happy!

Oreo moon phases

Nora's rainbow and cats

For art they made a painting based on a story, Nora's was The Mitten

Flowers made by Nora

Riley's painting based on a story was, Misty of Chincoteague

Last year they enjoyed starting out the year with the book, How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World, and then making an apple pie. This year we made a dutch apple pie with the crumbly top! It turned out pretty well and we had fun.

Nora follows me around the kitchen any chance she gets.

Nora spilled cinnamon on her toes but would only let me call her cinnamon toes for the day

 

First Field Trip

The library was still hosting their summer events so we went to them on Tuesdays. This is the cold blooded redhead,  she travels with her reptiles and teaches about them. Riley was selected to feed the monitor lizard. 

 

The next week they had a magic show and August has been trying to think of great magic tricks ever since. His show was also a lot of fun.

Then we visited grandma and grandpa. We had a great time swimming in the pool and when the power went out papa grilled the corn. The kids thought the corn was great! We then went to Maquoketa to see the play Moana Jr. Ainsley and Piper were both in it.  The kids did a great job with it and it was a lot of fun!
