Homeschooling Shenanigans

Homeschooling has been a huge learning experience for me and the children! After being in public school for preschool up to 1st and 3rd grade it was a big adjustment for the kids. We are spending time getting the kids up to grade level as they are both horribly behind where they should be. We are learning parts of speech and getting comfortable with addition and subtraction math facts. 🧮 
I have found some school books that I feel are working well and we are getting into a decent routine.  
Kim has been an amazing aid in teaching core strengths with the kids! 

One of the school projects we did was growing crystals. We mixed up some sand like powder into boiling water then let them soak for 10 days and this is what came of it. The kids were thrilled to see the progress after the waiting time. We had them draw the progress day by day and that was a great exercise too. 

Now we are on to making rock candy!

Even out the cake mix then pour the butter across the the top (dont mix). Once you have all the layers done put in the oven at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes and let cool a bit before eating. The cake will look a little soggy coming out of t...
