Easter Egg Wreath

As Jem says...."easy-peasy,"  that's how I would describe this cute and simple Easter egg wreath.

Find some old plastic Easter eggs and a foam ring, and start hot glueing away....by the way is it "glueing or gluing." hmmmm? 

In our homeschooling news:  Olive just finished the Frog and Toad series and Jem has started, Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lesson.

Growing A Pizza Garden

We love to eat fresh vegetables and herbs right out of our garden. We are currently working with four rectangular planted boxes to grow a delicious pizza garden.  We first filled the planters with a hearty mix of compost and garden soil and each family member got to choose a favorite topping to grow.


Head on over to The Homeschool Classroom to see what we planted.

Great Spring Books

A few weeks ago Olive finished her 100 Easy Lessons book and was so excited!  During the year we mixed it up with Bob books, Dr. Suess, and Hooked on Phonics.  I feel she now has a good grasp on reading and is gaining more confidence with each book we read.  As a reward she can pick out a dress for her American Girl Doll.  I am so proud of her!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The girls loved Strega Nona's Harvest by Tomie dePaola, it went along nicely with planting our small garden.

 Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present, By Charlotte Zolotow is a lovely book that teaches colors in a special way. 

 I loved the illustrations in Cinderlily, By David Ellwand.  This twisted fairy-tail has an adorable rhythm with lovely photos.

What are you and your children reading this month?

Favorite Spring Activities

    With every lovely day in the Southeast, my girls are anticipating Spring.  The warmer temperatures bring new birds to the bird feeder, allow us to take casual bike rides through our neighborhood, and play outside until it’s time for dinner. The start of Spring also brings new learning opportunities for our homeschoolers.
