Week 3 ~ Language arts


We started out this week by visiting 
Hugo animal farm.  We went to learn about sheep and 
their wool.  We found lots of other animals too.

Here is a bag of recently sheared wool.       

Matthew got an opportunity to milk a goat!




Now, they want a kitty!!!


We learned more about wool for our on going handwork projects.

We then made our own knitting needles.

Matthew sanded and sanded


then we painted knobs for the ends.

Next week we will attempt our first knitted project!


For language arts this week we continued on with...

V (Village)
T (Tree)
S (Six swans~Grimm)
A (Golden star)

Here is some of his work








We also started some of our painting this week.

We are supposed to practice two weeks of watercolor painting.

We started out with our regular paints:)



then, he tried it with watercolors.



We are mainly painting what we see around us now.


We also celebrated Mr. Matthew's birthday this week!

Happy 7th birthday!



Next week is the last of our letters

until then,
