School Journal - I am an Artist

This weeked we rowed the book I am an Artist. It was such a wonderful book full of things to ponder.


Betty enjoyed it but I wish the weather could have been nicer to go outside and collect nature items or try to be still and watch - that kind of thing - like it mentions in the book. We did try a few things inside though like finding a rainbow with a prism and we did some work on the letter X from Confessions of a Homeschooler. Betty also felt a little sick one day and wasn't really interested in her workboxes, so we lounged that day.

Sand (Sugar) Patterns Like the Book

Some of her letter X activities included:

Box Matching

Xylophone Lacing

She also did other COHS letter X activities like Do-A-Dot art, magnet page, counting, playdough X, counting, color by number and finding X's. We also learned tic-tac-toe. From this site we did the X-ray X - so cute! (Scroll down quite a ways.)
