Happy Autumn!

It is officially my favorite time of the year. Yes that's right Autumn. I love the smell of the cool crisp air. I love the colors on the trees. I love apple picking and corn mazes. I love dressing up for Halloween and eating all the yummy foods at Thanksgiving. I was so excited about it, I decided that we would do some 'fun' things today for school instead of the usual curriculum. So...the kids wrote in their journal 'What I like best about Autumn'. Then the boys did some fun coloring activities to help reinforce right from left. They also learned about alphabetical order using some fall words. They did well for their first time doing it. Hmmmmmm what else did we do. Oh yes they did a word scramble which was really good for spelling. I might incorporate it into their regular spelling lists. And they read a science book about leaves and photosynthesis. Then they were so into it Parker says to me..."Mom, let's decorate for Fall" Problem is I only have about 3 fall decorations. We will have to do something about that in the near future. Oh well we put out what we had.
