My apologies, but because we spend a lot of our day doing some type of learning at our home I'm going to have to do some posts about it. Otherwise my children will have no record of their doings.
Our schedule has adapted to our lifestyle as the months have gone by. We still do the work- it's just not at the same time every day. In the morning I have a chunk of time where griffin is good and plays by himself so emery and I will work on math and reading. In the afternoons when griffin is sleeping I read and read and read and read to the girls and they do 1, 2, 3... 100 projects to go along with their lessons or books.
In the 2 pictures above campbell is coloring the pages for a book from the LDS nursery manual. Every day we read a few stories from The Friend, a lesson from the nursery manual, or some Bible stories. Then they usually have a project to go along with it.
Ex- we read the story of the creation in the Bible and out of a children's picture book. They then made their own 7 page book about what happened on each day. We make A LOT of books in this house. The # 1 product we go through is white paper (from printing worksheets and making books) # 2 is staples (for binding books). But, if the girls didn't like making books or doing art we would go on walks and talk about the subject, watch a movie about it, or something else. We do what works for us and what they enjoy. The project is just the reinforcer for what they learned.
*** When I say griffin is "being good and playing by himself" that might be a slight exaggeration. Here's griffin during Bible art time.
After reading a science lesson they were supposed to make up an animal character and write a book where the character is teaching us something. emery made a fish teaching us about ocean life. She LOVES busy work. I could give her meaningless projects all day long and she'd always ask for more.

campbell's character was a spider teaching us about life among the bushes. campbell likes to scribble her way through busy work and then bug emery.And this is what griffin was doing during science art time. Not too bad. At least he's not unrolling the toilet paper.
