The Kilns looked particularly charming surrounded by blooms.

A trip to the post office

Noah had a lot of writing to do.

 After finishing our Postal Bible School lessons, we walked to the Post Office to mail them.

Off it goes

Vowels

Cooper's been working on the long-oo and short-oo vowel sounds this week. 

Noah sat in for the fun part of this lesson.

Caleb found something more exciting to do.

Today, Cooper sorted cards into the appropriate long-oo or short-oo pile.

Puzzled about Posts

School last week was not terribly exciting for blog posts. We've been focusing mainly on math, reading, and handwriting and will continue to do so until the new school year. Here's one sweet shot of Caleb. He's pulled out his number puzzles on several occasions and enjoys putting them together.

A few pictures from this week

Cooper worked on spelling words with the long-U vowel sound.
Here, he's rearranging letters to spell huge.

More work with the long-U vowel sound. The only way across the river was to jump from one long-U word to another. Caleb's not reading. He just thought the hopping was fun.

The little man is often busting out some tunes.

Working together

Color, Color, Everywhere!

The boys love using markers. Caleb ended up with marker on himself
and the table, so he had to switch back to crayons.
