The first couple weeks of September, we learned about the ocean/beach and our senses. This was a fun study for us since we have the beach so close. The main book we read several times a day was Hello Ocean. This booked used a little girl's 5 senses to describe her day at the beach. The place I got a lot of ideas from was
Homeschool Share (see my links to the right), an online community of homeschooling moms who post some of their lesson plans. It's been a great resource so far. Anyway....here are some of the fun activities we did.
~Went to the beach, just me and Nicole, to collect sea shells, build sand castles, and just play.

~Went fishing in a lake, however Nicole seemed to have more fun fishing in the swimming pool ( I posted about this last week, scroll down to see that post)
~ Played Fishing BINGO

~Played seashell memory
~Painted a lot (This is quite possibly the best painting I've ever done....seriously, I'm proud!)

~Strung our seashells into a necklace

~Made an edible aquarium (jello)

~Watched The Little Mermaid
~ Our Lapbook with some of the activities we did.
Today Nicole and I made a popcorn cake from a recipe my Mama Pat gave me several years ago. Doesn't it look yummy?
And, the last picture...my mom came over to see the girls today after being away for a while on a cruise. Isn't this a good picture?

It's an awesome thing to see a family truly desiring to follow Christ.

Great picture of your mom and the girls. The popcorn cake looks delish (do share!).
I cannot believe how organize and methodical you are about "homeschooling" Nicole.
KUDOS to you!
Michele you are doing awesome! Those were some great pictures. Nicole is such a stylish little cutie. Little Hannah is looking more and more like her sister!
Hi all of you sweeties...Loved all the pictures and especially the popcorn cake...makes me hungry, wish I had a piece of it... Yum!!!
You better look through that little recipe book more often..Maybe I put how to make home made noodles. Someday, I will show you how to make them. I loved that necklace Nicole made and especially all those neat things you have on the wall. What a neat mom those girls have. Isn't it soooo much fun to do things with them. Well Love you all..Mama Pat
