My classes at our last co-op focused on nest building. The kids cheered with joy when the learned they would be making nests. I don't exactly understand kid enthusiasm, but I'm glad they liked it. After carefully watching a robin build her nest, my little bird scholars totally failed to build anything like it. We learned a lot in the process, though!
Peal has also been sewing some burp cloths for a special baby cousin and a crisis pregnancy center nearby. At first she could only cut out the pattern, but now she can cut, pin, and sew it from start to finish. If only I could control the tension on our wayward sewing machine!
Since we've hit our 180 days and have relaxed on the school work just a bit, she has been sewing and knitting up a storm while listening to her audio books. She designed and knitted a pair of footies that fit her. The little girls are more dependent on me to craft, which seriously limits them. We are working on making a Fruits of the Spirit Tree.
Peal has gone to Boston with her daddy for her first tournament. We thought she might be timid sparring, but the little thing earned a bronze medal in two events.
