Week in Homeschool #14

 Here's what our fourteenth week of homeschool looked like.  11.12- 11.16

Our theme of the week was Thanksgiving

We read:

Sarah Morton's Day, Samuel Eaton's Day, and Tapenum's Day.  My children love all three of these photographic day in the life of pilgrim, and native children of the year 1627.

Cyrus:
Used a pile of delicata squash, small pumpkins, and decorative gourds as his inspiration. 

 

 

Here he grouped an avocado, apple, and pomegranate and painted their shadows on the table as well. 

Ava:

Ava had an explosive week in her nature journal.  She tried a few different techniques, with results she was very proud of. 

 

she grouped a pomegranate, apple, and avocado and painted their shadows.

She painted our hearth, although she didn't finish

 and she rounded off her week with this flower bouquet

This was our last full week of homeschool before our winter break.

We had family travel from out of state to spend the holiday with.

We had a fantastic time.
