Fall activities: We worked a little bit out of a fall workbook my mother made for the children. 

* Read a poem and colored some leaves

* Collected and pressed leaves

* Did some leaf rubbings

* Sorted and counted leaves

* Blew leaves across the table

* Went apple picking

* Painting Pumpkins

Favorite Moments:

* One of the fun things about homeschooling is the flexibility we can put into our day.  Below is a picture representing that flexibility.  Lil E decided that Mr. Bear should join our classroom that day. (Mr. Bear also had a seat at the table when it was table time.)  You will also see Big E playing his bass while accompanying our music time for the day.  So much fun!

Big E's Writing Assignment:

"This picture was taken in the winter when we were shoveling snow.  We got snow as high as our house.  Shoveling the snow was hard.  In this picture I didn’t have a shovel, but sometimes I helped Daddy shovel.  In this picture I’m following Daddy in the snow.  I usually follow the path that Daddy makes because I can’t walk through the snow when it is deep.  In this picture Lil E is standing as well.  She liked the snow.  She couldn’t walk in the snow either."
