drawing

I've had Liam do a bunch of drawing projects lately, and here are two of them.
We have this cool book in his school curriculum this year called First Thousand Words. This week, we looked at the pages about an amusement park and a circus. I had Liam draw pictures of what he liked from the pages.
This first one was from the amusement park page, and he drew a Rifle Range.

And for the circus one, he drew a rabbit in a hat and a tight rope walker:

His drawing is improving by leaps and bounds and I like to give him these projects to give him the practice!

L Week!

This week was L week and we did some new and challenging things this week!

L color pages:

L word search. These are new for Liam and while he needed a little help, he is learning how fast!

Instead of glitter, we used Thyme!!!

Liam was supposed to draw a picture of some "L" and then write a description. It's supposed to say "A lamb giving a boy a ride". I think he got tired of writing:

And lastly, he was supposed to draw some of the L things we talked about this week...he drew a lady bug, lamb and leaf!

K Week!

This was our first week back to doing school after taking a three week break since Heidi was born. It was good for both of us to get back in the swing of things!
Liam was excited to do school again, and this week we learned about the letter K!

New Sister!

Liam has a brand new sister: Heidi Anne! She was born on October 9th!
He was so happy to have a sister. The first thing he said when he met her was: "I love her already!"
And boy does he!

J Week!

I'm actually getting J week posted on time this week! Yay!

We tried some new things this week and liked them alot.

J color pages:

instead of painting, I gave Liam some markers to color the Js with:

One of the new projects: Letter Sewing! Liam enjoyed this alot:

J picture cutouts. We didn't find much in the magazines that started with J, but we got a fair amount and even had a discussion about how J is pronounced differently in Spanish (because of the Javalina):

And our second new project: dot printing. Liam also liked this alot:

(If the new baby comes over the weekend, we wont be doing school next week. Hopefully, it will come!)

A Story

This last week Liam made a book. I helped him make the story coherent, but the majority of it  is Liam's:

I don't know if you can read the story if you click on the picture, so here it is:

One day there was a little dog, a rabbit, a deer and a lion. 

They were all walking and talking together and bumped into a girl. She was very beautiful and lived in a castle.

They all became friends.

The sun came up one day and the day was rather hot. 

They took a walk and picked flowers. 

They also saw a beautiful rainbow. 

But soon they all became tired except for the girl. 

They all asked her if they could go back to the castle. 

She said yes.

And when they got there they all went to sleep while the girl sang to them. 

The End.

I week

this last week was the week of I.
