Week 2 of MFW Learning God's Story

 

Last week, we finished up our second full week of first grade!  Phew!    Both Squirrely Girl and Bear are loving it so far!  For the most part, we've been going along with the MFW Learning God's Story lesson plans, but I've added spelling lists, comprehensive reading, and math minutes for daily practice for Squirrely Girl as well.  Oh yeah.... and lots and lots and lots of reading!

We also began using our nature journals this week.  For now, the girls are using journals that we made out of cereal boxes.  I found the idea on Pinterest awhile back, and making them was a fun activity for the girls.  (Plus... you can't beat free!)






Pretty impressed with Squirrely Girl's drawing of a
Monarch Butterfly. 



 

Bear decided that she wanted to make a rainbow spider
because realistic ones are "too scary"!  

 




 






 

I'm really looking forward to doing nature journals this year.  Our family really enjoys art as well as the outdoors, so this is a great way us to put the two together.  I just know that our nature journals will be treasured for years to come! I can't wait to see what their work looks like by the end of the year!



How was your homeschooling week?  What neat things do you incorporate into your nature journals?  I'd love to see what other's are doing!
