'16/17 Week 12

This week, we finally had time to do an art project. The weather turned rainy on us, and we had a good excuse to stay indoors and cook up something crafty. I printed out sheets upon sheets of leaf outlines which the kids painted in fall colors using their watercolors. Both children put their math skills to use when they were dividing up the final amount of leaves and were figuring out how many strings to rig up for the installation to hold an equal number of leaves per string. It was very satisfying to see them calculate the numbers in their heads. Made me smile big.

Andrew's nature find - a mega caterpillar.

Art. It took us two hours to paint the leaves on both sides.
