a homeschool day

Involves a little bit of baking. I wish that was always true! Too often we get a little busy and forget. Although we have been donning our aprons quite a bit lately. What really happened was we were completely out of bread and had no quick fixes for lunch, so we thought some Cranberry Crumble Muffins might be in order. Of course I had a willing helper.
A little bit of spelling practise is always good. One cup for learned words and one for words we are working on.
Kindergarten has a bit of cutting, pasting, coloring. counting and phonics all in one.
Writing a creative story is always up my girls alley. We found an idea generator on Scholastic that had the girls laughing.
Then of course there is math! Some hate it and some love it. My older two girls each fall into one of those categories. Oh, Bugsy also made a terranium today. Really cool project that teaches her about the water cycle. Will have to post more about that another day.

I always noticed that my girls seemed to like the "busy" work better than my boy. I think generally, that is just the nature of girls. Baking was a part of our homeschool days nearly every week. Along with a bit of tea and cookie or muffin nearly every day around 2pm. Brings back lots of memories!

Those muffins sound yummy. I think you need to add baking to the schedule everyday!
