School Days

The next week after Grace's ballet class started, Zane started first grade homeschool! I have to admit that I was a bit apprehensive at first, seeing as my mom was such a great teacher, but we are settling in nicely. And I have discovered that I LOVE to teach! Zane is already doing wonderfully, and he looks forward to school every morning :)

This morning was our first library adventure day. I packed a surprise picnic lunch for us and off we went! We ate at the library park and the kids played for awhile on the playground there. Then we used our tree identification fanbook and walked all over the library grounds looking at and comparing the different types of trees, studying the leaves, and reading about each one and it's purpose. Way fun! Then it was time to start teaching Zane how to find books in the library. We had so much fun that Grace is sawing some serious logs, and Zane is now having some lego down time.






The squirrels were gathering all the acorns from the oak trees, and they looked so cute with their mouths stuffed full of nuts! Too bad they don't pose well...




These are all Ranger Rick Nature Science books I bought used from the library. They have a section now where they put books that are too old or that have newer versions, and you can take whatever you want and just leave a donation in a jar! Rock on! Couple bucks for fun nature books? I'll take it ;)
