Hard week...

This week was a difficult week for schooling the kids. We butted heads a lot and they weren't interested in school, doing games, reading their library books... nothing. So we didn't 'do school'. We did hang out in the backyard or in the house and play together, we watched some TV, did some computer games (actually educational ones, does that count?), did some gardening... Ben went to karate and is doing very well. Hopefully next week will be a lot better!!

More on our apple theme days...

We went on a field trip and apple picking over the weekend. See our main blog for the entry on that.

These pictures are from our graphing activity when comparing the 6 different apples using our senses.

Talking about apples brought up fall/autumn so here the kids are doing some leaf printing with the fall colored leaves that we found on the sidewalk down the street from our house. We are always watching out for the signs of fall these days!
