Owlowiscious Girls

This week Lucy and I have been studying the letter L.  Much like last week- nothing too exciting- she has been like a roller coaster when it comes to "doing" school.  I don't like to push it too much at this age because learning should be fun, but she has been pretty crazy.  Her attention span has been about 2 minutes lately.  I am not complaining but it sure makes teaching pretty much all over the place.  She did sit long enough to make a letter L out of blocks so...progress.   Ariana has been learning about DNA and reviewing organelles.  We did a fun activity to teach how DNA sends messages to make different characteristics on dogs.  We are on Day 78 of Year One Easy Peasy .  We even got Lucy to participate.  I had to draw the dogs so don't make fun of them (my kids did enough of that already).  It is hard to get them to be confident.  I don't know where all the insecurity comes from *cough *cough probably myself.  Any way, that gives me a lot to think abo

It has been a long time since I have done a school update.  We haven't gotten very far in our letters but we keep plugging away so now we are on letter K.  Sorry I don't have anything super exciting or fun especially picture wise, but I have been feeling guilty about nor writing.  Here is her favorite one: Ariana has been just finished learning about Ancient Greece and we just started The Cabin Faced West  but our big project this week was making a  cell cake .  I love learning using food.for learning!  I learned a lot myself.  I don't remember ever learning about cells and organelles in school so this was super fun for mom, too. Hermione is still in public school.  I am having a hard time pulling her out, they are all personal reasons, but still- I am praying for bravery and direction in this decision that is always looming before me.  She is doing alright in school but still not talking to the teacher.  Currently we are trying to read the books for 2016
