Jonah wants to show off

We have been working on a few projects, and Jonah asked me to put them on the Internet. (Crazy 21st century kids anyway!) We took a couple weeks off from his regular curriculum to do a unit based around the book Mr. Popper's Penguins. Jonah put together a lapbook of all his work.

Here he is with one of his favorite pages. The one with the flap that asks "Would you like to be fed like a penguin chick?" (You can ask him to explain why he said "No!")

Jonah in penguin toboggan pose. Silly boy!

I thought this was creative, on the back of his book he made the penguins look like they were walking away!

We finally finished up his body. This was a lot of fun because Audrey did it with us. (Reuben thought that he did as well!) I think that he really learned a lot about his body. When I asked what he favorite parts were they included everything about waste elimination.

A Very Late Posting of 1st Day of Enrichment Class!

Yep, enrichment classes started over a month ago and I am just now posting the "First Day of Class" photos. This year we cut back to just one day. It is lovely. Jonah and Audrey are both taking art and science. Jonah is also taking drama. I am really curious to see how he does with that because he has been really excited about it. The back packs are completely unnecessary, but a must for the back to class picture! Getting Ready to head out! Miss Poser as she gets ready to go inside! Way too cool for this Me too Mom!

A "Spring" Field Trip

This morning when the kids woke up I told them to put on short sleeves because we had a surprise field trip. We met Gramma B and Gramma Great at the Botanical Center and got to pretend it was spring! By the orchids Lovely Lady (She has been waiting for short sleeve weather so that she can wear this sweater!) Grandmas and the kids Look at the fish! Me and my babes! What is this? This inside of the fig He looks as disturbed as I was to find out that they throw out the plants in the two themed beds every 6 weeks! (We kind of wanted to take them home!) Not sure if this is the wall's intended purpose! What a great brother! Group shot!
