The caterpillars we've brought back from Oh's Farm, have turned into chrysalis... here's a recap of our lesson on the caterpillars & butterflies...
This week, we started our new lesson based on the Carrot Seed book... we listened to the audio book of this story...they loved it to bits... *smile*... even Little Missy was humming the tune of what the older brother of the story was singing after listening to it.
We then sat down to work on the lapbook based on the Carrot Seed book...****************************************************************
As we continued the lesson on Carrot Seed, the kids had a head start of the day with some puzzles...then we used the material from Evan Moor to teach the kids on the sequence of a growing seed...
After which the kids headed outdoors to collect some leaves... great nature walk and great way to expend some energy...also a great prelude to learning science...
We discovered some curry leaves along the way and the kids took a whiff of the leaves... I simply love nature studies!!!
After the walk, the kids used the collected leaves to work on an art of leaves printing...There were just so many activities we've lined up for the kids on the session of planting seeds... check out the videos below...
I simply love homeschooling...so much activities could be packed within a lesson that the kids could experience and learn, at the same time have fun! *smile*

I must say that the both of you did an excellent job with the homeschooling :) I don't think the boys will get so much attention or learn as much as when they are in formal kindergarten. I will definitely be referring to ur blog often to pick up some tips.
Thank you Rachel... it's been really fruitful in our homeschool journey thus far... even though it was tiring but it's all well worth it... :)
Hi Pauline, remember me, Linette from JWT? We met on Facebook and I chanced upon your blog from Yee Mun's blog! Well done on your home schooling! I am certainly getting some ideas from your lessons! Pop by my blog if you have time :)
