Chips and Dip, Soup for Supper and Lapbooks!!

As with anything, some days of homeschooling can be a little more trying than others. Today just happened to be one of those days. I think it was a combination of several things, including all of us being tired and the weather being gray and dreary. Anyway, we made it through the day and actually got a good bit accomplished. What is better to end a dreary day in a good way......a big ol' pot of homemade vegetable beef soup and cornbread muffins of course!! Here is dinner simmering away while we finished up so school work this afternoon. It was YUMMY!!!



Here is Kristen this afternoon putting her lapbook on Invertebrates together.

And here is Momo finishing up her phonics while she and Ian snacked on some chips and dip!







Morgan also finished her lapbook this morning. She did hers on penguins and learned a lot of interesting facts!!



Here are pics of Kristen's finished lapbook on Invertebrates.




I finally got around to taking some pictures of the impromtu lapbook Kristen did a couple weeks ago on Helen Keller. She had to do a mini research report and asked to make it into a lapbook!!





Pictures coming soon of Aaron's lapbook he is working on about slavery. Now....it is time to settle in for the night and maybe get off to a better start tomorrow!!

Yum! That soup looks so tasty. I love homemade soup on a cold winter day. It just warms the body and the heart. *smiles*

The lapbooks were great and I would love to do one on Helen Keller with Hannah and Melanie. Thanks for the great idea. Lindsay and Melanie have finished a "Seasons" pocket book. They were so proud of it. I have pictures on my blog if you would like to take a look.
