Homeschool16: March


Our March units included: Make-Believe, St. Patrick's Day & Weather, Easter & Spring, and Transportation & Space. We reviewed a lot of concepts and covered a lot of new information, as we begin the fast-ride to summer. I feel like I am missing some pics from these units, but I haven't been able to find them on my computer, so I will just go ahead and post this, or it might be fall before I get to it.

Both kids are doing well and making progress, especially Degen whose reading skills continue to improve as he masters 3- & 4-letter sight words. He puts those skills into practice reading primers & Scholastic magazines that support our unit themes.

Field Trip: Franklin Park Conservatory


We always enjoy spending time at the Franklin Park Conservatory. It is an especially fun place to visit during butterfly season! It was a beautiful spring day, which gave us an opportunity to spend time exploring the outdoor gardens a little. We explored gardens and flowers, butterflies and bees!

We were captivated by all the bees collecting from the tulips. We spent a lot of time watching them.
