Time to chill

We have been so incredibly busy lately I've actually looked forward to these rainy days so we can stay in and veg! March was full of Easter, Birthday, Aunts visiting and Great-Grandparents visiting. It seemed like we couldn't even get a break. I welcome April and all the spring that comes with it!

We're continuing with our insect unit and are learning so much about them. Now, when a "something" flies past we don't immediately freak out. We discuss what we've learned about different insects. Of course, if the thing happens to be a wasp....... continue freaking out! :) Ha!

We're working with some subtraction now, and it's going over really well! We just take the basics of what we already know and keep building on that, and it's working out great for us.

Our phonics and writing is moving right along, and I love to watch the progression. I can't even explain the fulfillment I get when I see what she's learned being used in our every day lessons and life. It's amazing!

Science is BabyGirls favorite subject, so it gets plenty of attention with great enthusiasm. That's why using this theme unit is working out so perfectly for us. I feel the possibilities are endless when I think of all the fun things we can move onto next. Animals, human body, universe, ocean.......ahhhhhhhhhhhh I can't wait!! Oh, yes, and on that note...BabyGirl got a Magic School Bus science experiment kit for her birthday on the human body. We are so excited!!!

Gymnastics is still going great, and I love to see how much stronger she gets with each session. Her teacher is excellent and we absolutely love her. Dance is still going as well and we're looking forward to the upcoming performances at the herb fest and recital. Always fun...

Then, on comes summer! We're taking a trip to visit the great-grandparents this summer which will also include Silver Dollar City. Bring on the swimming, gardening, sand box and outdoor activities daily. We can't wait.

So, that's our quick update. With the little sickness that we've passed around the last week, I'm ready for us all to feel better and resume with where we left off....
