MFW Adventures Week Three (Lake Tahoe)

How can school not be fun when you have a Field Trip to Lake Tahoe!  

Tuesday was the first day of school for the public school here...  So some of the homeschoolers decided to celebrate not being 'behind a desk' by going to Lake Tahoe.  (what fun!)
Man, It was beautiful!  Rose enjoyed meeting some new friends.  They swam, buried themselves in the sand, and even tried to catch crawfish.
Yes, I think we are really going to enjoy Lake Tahoe.

Science is one of Rose's favorite things....  We did some more experiments with air and water.


Here she is working on her ordinal numbers.

This was a fun craft - Jesus sun-catcher.  
We placed letters on wax paper, shaved some crayons and scattered them over the paper, placed another piece of wax paper on top, then Rose ironed the papers.  We then cut some construction paper and made a border.  She has requested to make more....so we probably will.

We had an additional outing this week.  Chad took us to the Sparks Rib Cook off on Thursday.  
Here we are enjoying a very delicious lunch!!


Rose enjoyed candy made in Italy
and cooling off in the fountains

Yes she loves to paint, in addition to our art curriculum, she loves to do additional painting, drawing and crafts.
She painted this picture on a canvas some friends sent her.

It was a fabulous week!  We continue to learn and have so much fun along the way!

It sounds like you had a really productive week. I also like to take advantage of beautiful days to do homeschooling outside.
