These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deuteronomy 6:6-7

Finishing up Week 2 of ECC
Last week we finished up the second week in our curriculum Exploring Countries and Cultures, even though it was our 3rd week of school. This allowed us to take a slower pace and to get back into our grove. Plus we had the Holiday in there and our Moms group day.
Here is #2 on her first day of Sunday School, I wasn't sure how she would do, she can be a little shyer than #1 and clingy. Well she did fine, her buddy was in there. Later I heard to my embarrassment that she told her teacher at one point " sigh...I'm sooo bored"
and here she is with her project form Moms group, we hung it up as soon as we got home. I am so thankful for the program for the tots at my Moms bible study, neither of my girls went to preschool, but I feel like this once a week program is the perfect balance. They learn how to interact with other tots and how to listen and follow directions and Mom is in the same building.
here is #1's neighborhood map she made while studying different types of maps
here is the world cake we made, it's upside down so it really looks distorted, but I think she did a pretty good job making the continents. We told everyone in order to have a piece they had to name the continents and oceans, #1 and I have them memorized mostly due to listening to the continent song on geography songs. Love this CD
more geography vocab cards
science notebooking - we went outside found a leaf, identified the tree using the national geographic field guide North American trees, we checked this out from the library, but I might like to purchase well see how much we use these types of books this year
and here is our water cycle experiment, we planted grass in a jar and watered it. Before hand we learned about the water cycle and we have been signing Steve Songs song water cycle and now I can't get it out of my head, but we love it.
It's hard to tell from the picture, but this fog(water vapor)
and here we have condensation
Well it's been a fun couple of weeks, lets see how our week unfolds as we begin the busyness of AWANA and other outside commitments.
Good job on your week 2 of ECC! We just finished our 2nd week also. And, like you, we have been doing school for 3 weeks now. Takes awhile to get back into the swing of things. We also have that Geography Songs CD. So fun!
