Semisweet showing the width of the breast on her Americana “Judy”Sunday we had church, of course, followed by a ward luncheon. I was in charge of making sure all the food was brought, tables set-up, etc. In other words I got to order everyone around. 🙂 After the luncheon we changed our clothes so we could stop by the fair and pick up the chickens during check-out time. I was exhausted when we finally got home!

We are starting off slow because we will be leaving for a short vacation next week but then we will really get into the thick of it all. The two oldest girls were able to do well considering their school books were slowly still arriving throughout the week. They are still waiting for their Language Arts books. K12 sent Language 3 instead of Language 8 for Bon Bon. We’ve been teasing her quite a bit about that!
The rest of the girls have been doing their math, reading, copywork, and language arts everyday. We’ve also been learning about mammals for science and will be doing a small unit study on Raccoons next week. Nothing big just something fun from the 2004 Copycat Magazine. Copycat is no longer being published. My mother-in-law subscribed online to them one year and saved all of their wonderful files. It is such a great resource! Cookie has been flying through her letters. She is so ready to read. She did wonderful remembering A, B, & C as well as their sounds. She is also doing very well in writing them. We won’t start history or geography until we get back from our trip next week. I’m really hoping to be able to give more detailed weekly accounts of our schoolwork starting two weeks from now.
Look at all those ribbons! Congratulations to your girls…all that hard work paid off!
Great job girls! Tell me what you do with your prize winning poultry?
Wow – -Congratulations to the girls on all those ribbons. That’s wonderful.
I sent a little package and an email that outlined our life in Australia for my friend who homeschools three kids in Arizona.. I am happy to email you the attachement if you want to see a little of what life is like in australia for your geography classes
My memories of 4H from my childhood are totally funny. I thought it was some cool club that my friends were in and I really wanted to join – until I begged my Mom and she told me it was all about animals. Then I was totally confused as to why my friends were in this awful club where they made you learn about animals. Ahhh youth. So naive and closed-minded.
Just look at those smiling girls…..I am still so very proud of them…..=) It is such a joy to teach children that truely love to learn…..=)
Oh my goodness! I’m so impressed! And my girls really want to come live with your family! (You could use a few extra girls, right?) 🙂
Great Job!
Congratulations to the girls with their birds. I love chickens, but I get the heebeejeebees with fluttering feathers and CANNOT touch them. So I am doubly impressed to see them holding them. (I make the kids do all the holding work!)
This is so cool! I have to show my kids, especially my son. He is so in to chickens right now. He spent a lot of time looking at chickens at the MN Fair.
Congrats, girls!
Congrats to your girls! Very impressive ribbons.
