We are still having fun with blossoms over here. After reading a few books we covered some core lessons, line work, and symmetry. Then we made a clay flower, which Elliot painted and also pressed some flowers from the garden for another project. We love blooms

This week we are studying blossoms! This morning we learned all about different flowers, how they grow, and their anatomy. Then reviewed letters F and L, used our count & clip cards for a counting lesson, completed some fun worksheets, and played a matching flower game. For our art sesh we both colored some pretty blooms, Wild Geranium and a Sunflower (Elliot’s favorite).
After we went outside and looked at how all the flowers in our garden are blooming. We even caught a chubby bumblebee looking for nectar 
Elliot was a big help with watering as well. Who doesn’t love flowers? They are so beautiful and fascinating

A little more honeybee fun this morning. I read a story about how busy a bee can be while Elliot played with his leggos (this book is so cool) and then we reviewed some facts in our bug book. After, Elliot practiced the letter E and we had an art sesh where we colored and created a honeybee mosaic. Bees rule.

This morning we had a chill lesson for our nature study. After a book about a day in the life of a honey bee we did some fun worksheets, a little math, worked on patterns, and played my word in the honey game (which you can download for free at graystardesign.com/homeschool). Then we made a honeycomb rubbing and bees from our Wikki Stix.
Elliot is still dealing with a cold/allergies so we are taking the day to rest and chill out. But I’ve got more honey bee fun on the way
