We just finished our body unit today. This is the kids final projects. They have loved this unit more than any other and have asked to do it often. That pleases me. Of course the organ they remember the most is the bladder, and they giggle every time they say, "it holds our potty". Taryn also giggles at the word testicles, but I won't go into that. Taryn has really blossomed this year in school. Last year was a little challenging for her ( stress put on by too many expectations). This year she has had a lot of fun and seems to be getting a lot more because she enjoys it.
I love being with them as they learn and seeing them make connections. It is nice to know how their day was instead of hearing "fine", like I do when they're away from me. Small pleasures make it worth it.

I giggle when I hear the word, testicles, too. :)
You're kids are so smart! I'm always amazed at all the stuff they're learning with you. I think I'm too ADD to even try to have that kind of drive and patience at the same time. That's a really cute picture of you three.
i love that picture of you guys! You all have matching eyes. Taryn's shawl is really cute! I love that Erik's drawing has testicles. :0) That's so fun that you all get to learn together!
Good for you guys! I am glad they are learning the proper word for "testicles"... instead of calling them peanuts!
I am really impressed that they did those! And what a fun way to learn about the body! It reminds me a little bit of that show with the guy in the tight unitard organ suit... but less uncomfortably awkward.
Your kids are super smart! I am amazed by your diligence in the way you teach your kids. That looks like so much fun!
And I loved that video you forwarded to me.
That's awesome Keri! Since I first met you I've thought you're one of the best moms I have ever seen. You should give me some pointers, some days I feel like I'm not doing so well. I need ideas for things I can do with Heidi. She's 18 months now. I'm having a hard time knowing what I should be working on with her.
I can't believe ow much work you put into that. I don't know anyone else that puts that much effort into homeschool. Props to you. Come visit.
