RICH ACADEMY IN FULL SWING
SEPTEMBER 2013
I have always loved homeschool and I am loving it now though it is crazy busy as we work to get a schedule and flow in place and get the kids all trained on their routine. This is our first full year with everyone home with a new curriculum and there is transition and training that must take place. I know it will come -- we just must progress in baby steps!!!
One of our first activities was putting our new knowledge from education week to the test. The girls and I attended a class by "Chef Brad" (chefbrad.com) and learned about using grains and eating more healthy. We are trying out using Agave Nectar, coconut oil and a bigger variety of grains in addition to our whole wheat flour. We tested this out on a batch of peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. The ones on the left are the regular recipe with whole wheat flour. They are pretty!!! The ones on the right are with whole wheat flour, agave nectar, and applesauce. They aren't as pretty, but they taste great and are much healthier!
Here are 2 pumpkins from our garden, our cookies and a large jar that has a LARGE cocoon in it!!!
Bethany helps Mason do some math!
Rachel's art project
M&M MATH
We needed a powerful example of how important it is to estimate correctly!
You could lose a lot of M&M's if you don't estimate correctly!
WE LOVE SWIMMING FOR P.E.!!
Mason loves this floating alligator -- he says:
