My apologies for taking so long to post this blog! We have been so busy! We've also been dealing with colds and allergies so I had to put blog updates on the back burner for a bit. We are still having a wonderful time learning at home! We celebrated Johnny Appleseed's birthday in September by working on a lapbook that had all sorts of fun information for us. We read books, watched a movie and went to the apple orchard to have apple donuts and apple cider. We even invited David and David William to join us! On one afternoon we had an apple tasting, estimated and counted the apple seeds inside of an apple, decorated apple cookies and even made some homemade applesauce in the crockpot!
All in all, we had an exciting month learning about plants and the fruits they produce. A great time to talk about Johnny Appleseed and his passion for apples! In a previous post, I put up pictures of the kids planting seeds. Only our lima beans started to sprout. :( But, we gave it a good try and had fun! The kids checked their lima beans everyday and gave me daily reports on their progress. They were thrilled to see the changes that took place on almost a daily basis! Our sweet Aunt Ina gave us another idea that we will try in the spring...growing grass seed on a wet sponge! Once the grass starts growing, the kids can give the grass "hair cuts." We look forward to that experiment!
