Emily's School

Emily's report on bees. She really has enjoyed her bug book from the library and decided the first thing she wanted to read about was honey bees. After reading about it I asked her to write a little about it. She completed it with a couple pictures of bees. The picture stapled to the back shows the bees in the hive and is really cool. She got the honeycomb look and all.


The dinosaur lap book that we had so much fun making. And I love that Emily likes to look back and read it. We were talking about dinosaurs and the dinosaur bones that have been found in our state and she asked if they had found any "terrible lizards"? I knew she got it from her lap book and was testing to see if I remembered that dinosaur means "terrible lizard".


We started our lap book on Pilgrims in November, but after finding out I was pregnant the morning sickness hit hard and we have slowly been coming back to working on it and trying to finish it. So its still a work in progress.

The stalactite experiment. We don't know how many days/weeks it takes for the stalactite to hit the bottom of the dish, but we are waiting impatiently. Lindsey comes in every day to see if it has "grown" yet.

Our bean! Its hard to see, but there is a tiny little root already growing out of the bean. It has sprouted!

For her 6th birthday Emily got a clothespin doll set from her great-grandma. Its awesome and so far these are the doll creations she has made.

I looked all over the house for her journal to show off because I think its totally awesome. But we have misplaced it and will have to show it later. I love this thing. We got it in the notebook section at the store and I love that the paper is for learning beginning writing and it has a space at the top for drawing pictures. Emily writes about what she wants, includes the date and draws a picture. I think it will be really neat when it is all filled up and we can look back on what she wrote.
