The Socialization Factor

Peter Yarrow from Peter,Paul and Mary came to Fairhope!

Peter Yarrow on stage reading Puff the Magic Dragon. Baxter and Huff are on stage...notice Huff is holding a dragon!                                                      

Here he is singing "Leaving on a jet place"- love this one!

Singing - "If I had a hammer"

He played for an hour and 45 minutes! The room was packed!!! It was pretty awesome.

A new adventure!

We have taken on a new adventure recently and are having a ball so far.

It is a lot of work, but completely rewarding for both parties. We are home-schooling! We are in our 4th week now. 

The other day after journal time...I have to admit I peeked in their journals and read, "I want to learn more about the rainforest".  This was written by Baxter.  They woke up to a surprise on Monday morning: It's RAINFOREST WEEK! They are reading, writing, spelling all things Rainforest! 

This is called a unit study.

Nature Books are a great place to record all of the interesting things we've found.

The 3 of yall (Samuel is asleep right now) did leaf rubbings and labeled the NAME
of each tree the leaf was from then put that in your nature books.

Leaf Garland- traced leaves, cut out and then taped to a string.
