Weekly Wrap-Up: We are "fired" up about learning...

We sure ran like we had a "fire" lit under us
this week...

We went to our Monday Fun classes...
(YAHOO- we hadn't been in two weeks!)

Baby Girl continues to learn about the perils of "Hamlet"
in her Shakespeare class...
(NO- she's NOT a genius- this is a
Shakespeare class tailored for K-3rd grade,
and the teacher is AWESOME!)

Jungle Girl greatly enjoys her "Felicity" novel class...

This week, they made the style of cap
Felicity would have worn during the days of Colonial Williamsburg...

She wears the hat ALL THE TIME, so you will perhaps see it throughout my post...
(She says wearing it keeps her warm)

Throughout the week, we did the usual,
plus we had our attention towards the Winter Olympics,
so some of our activities tied into this theme...

...like our "Blubber Gloves" science lesson.

We also created crystallized Olympic rings...

...and kept up an Olympic medal tally.

When it came to the "norm,"
the younger kiddos learned about the letter "L"
this week with the help of...

Llamas...
(These are some of my FAVORITE stories-
check them out here, here, and here!)

Ladybugs...
(click here for this activity and others)

and Lions!

We created a Candle Clock after we read about King Alfred...

But, MOST DEFINITELY, the highlight of our week
of "firery education"
was our trip to the Fire Station on Thursday...
(see more about it here)

And, since I was the one who organized this field trip
for our Homeschool Co-op...

We had Pajama Day on Friday!

(Man, was I tuckered out!)

So, put on YOUR coziest pair of slippers and head on over
to the Weekly Wrap-Up and see what other homeschooling families
have been up to!
