Art: Gustav Klimt (vegetable stamps)
 |
| Today we learned a teeny bit about Gustav Klimt and his paintings, which have lots of geometric shapes and patterns. Specifically, we looked at The Kiss, The Tree of Life, and Fullfillment, so nothing risque. For the project, we used potato, carrot, and celery stamps to make our own patterns, and the kids really got into it. |
Teachable Moments: Counting in Many Languages
Today, we were putting together several batches of the dry ingredients I use for our homemade pancakes (click here for recipe). As I added the cups of unbromated flour and coconut flour, we counted in Spanish for one jar, in Chinese for another jar, in German for the third jar and in Portuguese for the last jar. It was lots of fun.
Another day, we did the same thing, but we were counting to ten as he got legos picked up and put in the bag. We counted to ten in Spanish, Chinese, Italian, German, Portuguese, and French.
Below, you will see pictures of one of our homeschooling days this week. We played, got a new bottle (old Italian wine bottle) for our homemade almond milk (click here for recipe), dressed up, traced letters, and played some more. What a perfect way to end our homeschooling month of June! And now, we will take a 2-week break. See you again in mid-July!
