Olympics & Art

Today in history we learned about the Olympic games. The activity was to partake in your own 'Olympics' so we did a bit of that, however we were clothed. Don't think the neighbors would appreciate my children running around naked outside!

On your mark, get set...

GO!


Discus Throwing (Frisbee)

Arm Wrestling


Little Man's painting from yesterday (I was so impressed with how well he painted)


Cuddly Boy's painting...pretty accurate with brown "fishies"!


Princess is learning cursive. This is something she had to write today. Not bad. I hated cursive and she complains about it yet normally it is much better than her normal handwriting!

Cuddly boy looks *just* like Sammy running.

Isaac is doing cursive too, but he likes it. I think it's sort of like drawing to him.

Cute! Looks like they have fun! Do you ever get comments about having your school age kids "not in school" when you're out and about?

Rebecca- nobody in the neighborhood has said anything, although some may wonder who don't know we homeschool. Sometimes at a store or something people ask and the kids are quick to respond that they're homeschooled! They're so proud about it!
