First Day of Homeschool 2013

Yesterday was our first day of the new homeschool year! YAY!!!! I thought I would share a few of the things we did.

For some reason all of our cats seem to LOVE Cailey’s school work! They never bother any of the other kids! LOL

If you recognize Cailey’s dress, it’s the Red, White and Blue dress (click for the tutorial).

Here is Colin doing some streak tests from the Young Scientist Club kit # 7 – Minerals. (These are MUCH cheaper through Amazon and you get 3 kits in one.) (Amazon was down while I was working on this post.)

Here, Cailey is examining rocks from our trip to Pigeon Forge on the 4th of July.

The Rocks and Minerals unit that I put together can be found HERE.

Cailey and Colin are drawing maps! This is the first activity in the book Marco Polo for Kids.

Here are their finished “mythical maps”! Colin’s is the top and Cailey’s the bottom. They had SOOOO much fun with this activity! I didn’t think they would ever be finished! LOL

Our 4th in Pigeon Forge

We spent the 4th of July in Pigeon Forge with our friends Joe and Lisa and their daughter, Amanda. We had SOOOOO much fun!!!!

Here are a few pictures to show some of the things we did.

We saw the bears at Three Bears Country Store. They have 5 of them!

We went to one of the gem mines and panned for rocks! The kids loved it!!!

Poor Deanna didn’t find as many as the other kids did.

We went into the gem mine’s store and museum. We thought about waiting around to have our finds identified but the wait was FOREVER. Instead, I think I will make it a science project! Identify your own finds! 😉

We had SO much fun and we can’t wait until Joe, Lisa and Amanda come back to visit!!!
