Homeschool Plans 2021/22 🎉 This page has remai

Homeschool Plans 2021/22 🎉 This page has remained pretty untouched for a while now. Between the sale of our home, the purchase of our new farm, the kids, and the twin pregnancy…. I haven’t had much time for social media sharing.

I’m currently 38+5 weeks pregnant with the twins (babies 5&6) and we get the keys to our farm tomorrow! Furthermore, our movers move us in 9 days and the babies should be here any day now! 🙈

The dates don’t really add up, but I’m so thankful for it all. We will be back to homeschooling this fall, with the help of some part time programming for the big kids. With the responsibilities of the farm (tree planting and new farm animals, eeek) AND 6 kids under 8 I’m not exactly sure how consistently I’ll be on here, but I do still plan on sharing my favourite activities as we go!

Thanks for the patience. I know I’ve missed responding to sooooo many of your messages these last months 🧡 So what are your plans for this year?

And as always I’ll share all of our family and farm chaos over at @theyesfamily

😘

Nature Finds • Butterfly Lifecycle 🦋

Our caterpillars have now all transformed into the Chrysalis phase of the life cycle! Yay!

So while we patiently wait for them to emerge as beautifully butterflies, we are continuing our studies.

This morning, after a trip to the garden center for some veggie seedlings, we headed outside and collected everything we needed to make these Nature Find Lifecycles!!

We collected quite a bit, poured it all over the front porch and everyone got to creating their own! It gave us so many opportunities for great discussions and we discovered some incredible seeds hidden under some flowers which led us on a new adventure when we were done.

Hope you give it a try someday. 💗 Happy Thursday everyone! ☀️

Wildflower Symmetry Butterflies 🦋 We absolute

Wildflower Symmetry Butterflies 🦋

We absolutely loved the variations of this activity last summer, so when I saw Tara from @littlepinelearners share a butterfly version a while back I immediately saved it.

When exploring pictures of butterflies the other day the kids noticed how symmetrical they all were, so I knew I would need to bring this one out! We did a few symmetry activities inside yesterday before heading out for this today.

What you need:
• cardboard cut into a butterfly
• holes poked evenly on both sides
• poker (I used a tiny screwdriver but you could use a pencil, wooden skewer etc)
• nature! Collect wildflower, leaves or anything you find!

Have fun!! 🦋🌸

DIY 🐛 Hungry Caterpillar Necklaces We had

DIY 🐛 Hungry Caterpillar Necklaces

We had so much fun making necklaces during a past Solar System unit that I thought it would be fun to give it a try again.

After a measuring and charting the growth of our new little caterpillar friends, we read Eric Carles; The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Once Sawyer was napping the older 3 got busy planning their necklaces; choosing and mixing colors, selecting bead size/ amount and finally getting to it. Everyone’s necklace is so unique and they are proudly wearing them.

What you need:
☀️ wooden beads (assorted sizes)
☀️ acrylic paint
☀️ modge podge
☀️ paint brushes
☀️ string/ yarn/ chain

We put the beads on a pipe cleaner so that we could paint it all the way around, and once they were dry, a quick coat of modge podge sealed them up and gave them a nice glow. Next time we are going to try making polymer clay beads!

** while this story is most engaging for my younger crowd, my older two are working on a creative writing piece where they themselves are the caterpillar and they get to write about the foods they would eat the entire week. Some very creative (aka silly) content and illustrations are keeping them very engaged with that 🙈

Who has this story in their home library or includes it from time to time ? 🙋🏼‍♀️

It’s Twins!

I’ve been a little quiet over the last couple of months, and this right here is the reason, or should I say reasons!!! It was by far my most difficult first trimester and I’m just starting to feel more like myself (an exhausted version).

We are SOOO thrilled (and still a little shocked) that baby # 5 & 6 will be joining this summer!!!! 🎉
