Solar System

This is our solar system that we painted and hung up today, to accompany our astronomy study this year.  It was a fun project.  Even Maddy helped.  She painted the Sun and Neptune.  She is so proud of her work.

The Bigs really wanted to pose underneath it.  They think they're soooooo funny.  And they are.

They're modeling their new backpacks.  This past week we've done school at the park.  We go from 8 am to 10 am.  Savannah and Charlotte usually get math and phonics done, and sometimes writing.  They take 10 min. breaks on the playground between subjects.  Zach and Maddy play well together, they let me teach, and they're much happier the rest of the day.  It has worked out really well for us so far. 
Exept for the last day... we got eaten by mesquitos, it was hot and muggy, math was difficult, and Zach was ready to go home early.  THAT was a bad day, but the other days were good!
In Maddy's backpack is her Walmart pre-school workbook, a framed picture of Jesus that she has claimed as her own, and an assorment of toys that she is careful NOT to play in the sand with anymore, since she lost two toys in the sand the first day.
