Homeschool Fair 2009

Allow me to be a proyud mom and brag about my kids for one moment. We entered 7 things into the homeschool science and art fair. And Vincent and Raquel won six 1st place and one 2nd place along with two Best in show. So here are the pics I have to show off.

Our Bodies

This past year 2008-2009 we studies the human body. I found a very cool book that had pages to copy on card stock and the kids would color it and label each part. Each area we studied had a model cut out. So these are some of the models we put together to learn about our bodies. Raquel was involved in this learning process, but she did not really do any of the work on it, so I am only putting this post under Vincent. He did 80% of the work.

Peacocks

OK, so this really was not a school project. We saw peacocks at the park the other day and well, we had to go to the library and get a couple of books on peacocks and read about them. No formal study, but just a bit of knowledge. I guess that is the life of a homeschooler, always trying to learn something new from just walking through life! Vincent's is on the left with the big black eyes.

Easter: Jesus' Donkey

Here was a cute craft we did for my Moms group for Easter. We told the story of Jesus riding in on a donkey that had never been ridden. And then we made this cute little donkey. The kids loved it.
