Busy and Productive Week at Home School!

This week Will has been a whirl wind of projects and fun. I have been doing a simple mom share and then Will makes a list of things he wants to work on. I've helped him gather materials but mostly he has just worked out of "how to" type books and created some fun things. Boba Fett Sculpture

Will's Museum: Many of the things Will creates he puts on this little shelf in his room and calls it his museum. He makes little name plates and everything. I think it's a great way to display the things he has worked on.

This week we have been reading about Native Americans and some of his projects have reflected that. This is his Kachia Doll.

This is actually from last week. We have been working out of a body activity book and learning about the human body. It's pretty fun. First he traced his body and then he would read a page or two on a body part and then color and cut out that part and attach it to where it really fits in his body. This was the completed project.

This was one of my favorite things Will worked on this week. We have a bucket of random recycling stuff and every once in awhile Will will ask for it and just create something. This week he made a food dispensing hat. I had a big smile on my face as he demonstrated and then offered to me as a gift for myself! Kids seriously are so hilarious!

We also had a lot of painting going on this week. Will created a Pinewood Derby car with his dad and his school task was to get it painted. He added fire flames, very cool! Ian wanted to participate as well and painted one of the train cars while Cadey made a traditional painting.

Another mom share was on the brain, nerves and neurons. Will made a model of a neuron out of pipe cleaners and added it to his museum.

Overall a great and productive week! We are looking forward to Light and Vision, Explorers and Constellations next week!!
