This week we started a new routine and now have 3 days at home for learning. The other 2 days Elliot goes to the co-op for a few hours and so far so good. We also started the new theme of the @harborandsprout curriculum, Chemistry, and are still using the winter nature study by @treehouse_schoolhouse and exploring nature with children by @raisinglittleshoots.

To kick off the new year we learned all about states of matter, snow, and explored stars and constellations, specifically about the ones we see in the winter sky. We also got crafty and made kite paper snowflakes for our windows and created Orion and Canis Major with stars and toothpicks. We were also able to squeeze in an art study with a piece by Paul Klee (cubism). Looking forward to a season of fun and feeling cozy ✨

This afternoon was a bit busy and we didn’t have much time to do what I planned but we were able to read Little Mole’s Wish by Sang-Keun Kim, which is an adorable story, and completed a rocket page in our sticker shape book.

After our nature hike and some down time we had a snack and read Winter is for Snow by Robert Neubecker. Then colored a letter sheet and practiced drawing snowflake shapes. Elliot was pretty done for the day but I created two paper snowflakes and had him make a few cuts.

Continuing with our winter sky study Elliot and I read The Mitten by Jan Brett and then discussed why the mitten was so big when the grandmother found it and what animals squeezed in to get cozy. He remembered quite a few.

After he completed a few winter themed worksheets we created our own little mitten with wool roving, our first time! I’ve been wanting to do wool crafts for awhile now so I’m excited to finally explore it with him. Elliot picked purple and I decorated with a little white. I think it came out cute.
