Once they did their recitations, we walked around our dinner table and got to look at all that they did during the week. I put out all their worksheets, art projects, history timelines, journals, copy work, and handwriting samples. It took up the entire table. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of it. I'll have to do that next week. It was a challenging week for me to juggle schooling two of them while also tending to the spirited two year old, and a nursing infant, but once I put everything out on the table and saw all that we accomplished in only one week . . . WOW, it was rewarding! So, I think I may just have to lay it all out like that each week, just as an encouragement! I love our new curriculum. It challenges them to think and has lots of fun hands on activities to engage their minds. I am so thankful that I found this gem!
Once we were done with the presentations, we enjoyed a yummy treat of homemade ice cream sandwiches. I'll be posting how I made those later this week!
They look like whoopie pies!! Yummy! Can't wait to see how you made them. What a fun night of showing off all they had learned. You can see their excitement-so sweet!!
