This was a Review Week for us. We reviewed the last 5 weeks of studies - Kangaroo, Zebra, Rock, Jewel and Butterfly.
We also started to do some Easter Crafts too.
Review Weeks are a nice relaxing break from the normal week of school.

Week 26 B ~ Butterfly {3/19 - 3/23-2012}
This was a very exciting week for school - one I had personally been looking forward to since the beginning of the school year - Butterfly!!
We were able to send away for caterpillars and we received our caterpillars and watched then crawl around their cup for a few days, then they crawled to the top and attached themselves and formed their Chrysalis, then we saw them become butterflies!! We have 5 in all, and although we didn't see any of them break out of their cocoons, it was still neat to walk by our kitchen table and realize we had another butterfly.
We also were able to go to a Butterfly exhibit at a nearby Mall. Hayley, Alyssa and Cole all got to have a butterfly sit on their hands. Very Cool!!
We also did two crafts. The girls made butterflies out of their hands, and they also colored life size "wings" out of paper bags.
Our Library books:
Our Bible Memory Verse was 2 Corinthians 5:17, " Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come."
It was a fun week!!

Week 25 J ~ Jewel {3/12 - 3/16/2012}
This week we studied J ~ Jewels. We learned about some common Jewels - Rubies, Emeralds, Sapphires and Diamonds.
I bought a bag of "jewels" and we used them to work on some adding and subtracting.
Our Bible Memory Verse was Proverbs 8:11, "For Wisdom is more precious than rubies and nothing you desire can compare with her." We studied that we gain wisdom from seeking and asking God for it and that just like that verse says wisdom is precious, God and Jesus are precious and nothing can compare with them.
We then learned the song, "Lord You Are More Precious".

Our 100th Day!!!
We just celebrated our 100th Day of School!! Woo hoo!!! It is crazy to think that we had done 100 days of school... but we have! Everyday when we do our calendar and talk about what day it is we add a Popsicle stick to a jar. Everyday we count how many sticks we have. When we have 10, we bundle them and move them to another jar and count those by 10's. Then we have a 100 chart that we color everyday for that day's number and I told then when we hit 100 we would have a party!
We started the "party" by having cake after lunch...
Then I gave them each a bowl of sprinkles and they counted 100 sprinkles to put on their piece of cake.
Then we went down stairs and I had a present for each of them which was a 100 piece princess puzzle.
(ignore date it was Tuesday, but b/c there were presents on the table all order to our day was thrown out with the trash!)
I then had a few papers for them to do a fill in the blank 100 chart and a dot to dot and then 100 glasses
Of course it is not complete without books about our 100th day...

Week 24 R ~ Rock {2/27 - 3/9/2012}
Well this week's lesson took two weeks because I got the stomach bug at the end of the first week. We are done now, but instead of starting another topic mid week we are just having a relaxed week. We also celebrated our 100th day of school this week (own post will be coming) and Daddy had Friday off this week so we are planning to go swimming!
So... Rock... We read books on the different kinds of Rocks there are and how some Rocks are made from lava. We also studied that Jesus is our Rock and we are to build our lives on him.
Our memory verse was Matthew 7:24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house in the rock.
We also learned the song, "The Wise Man Built His House Upon the Rock"
Some fun things we did is I got some "rocks" from the dollar store and we counted them and them grouped them by color, and after we grouped then we lined them up by size.
We also did an experiment of what lava looks like coming out of a volcano...
and yes, some days we do school in our pj's!! : )

Week 23 Z ~ Zebra {2/20 - 2/24/2012}
This week we studied Zebra... Alyssa's favorite animal!!
We learned about the Zebra and how it's stripes help it to hide from other animals. We also learned that we can not hide anything from God. God sees everything!
The girls had a fun time making a Zebra patter by cutting black strips of paper and gluing them onto another paper.
Here are our library books:
