I absolutely love this low cost way to jazz up a boring old fence. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We use a lot of the jumbo sized tomato sauce and green beans cans, so it was not too much trouble to wash them out and save them up. It took a few weeks of yelling "Stop! don't pitch that can!" and only a few dives into the kitchen trash can to get enough for the fence.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Once you have amassed enough cans simply add a little spray paint and screw them randomly onto the fence and pick out some flowers. I chose a variety of annual flowers and a couple annual vines to add more depth once they get growing.</div>

I have up to week 7 of Classical Conversations notebooking pages created and have my new "busy work binders" ready and raring to go.<br>
I have been doing extensive Mommy Blog research this summer and we are going to try out notebooking this year and incorporating them into, what I am calling, a Busy Work Binder.<br>
<br>
You have questions? Well let me will elaborate!<br>
<br>
Notebooking is pretty well know in homeschool circle, by here is the Readers Digest version for any newbies. Using a notebook, or binder in my case, students write out what they are learning and use color pages, matching, magazine clippings or their own illustrations to cement the concepts they notebooked.<div><br>
Ta-Da notebooking in under 35 words!<br><br>
I am endeavoring to combine notebooking with the Rise and Shine binder. What is a Rise and Shine binder? A fun learning tool I discovered at The Internet Mothership, aka Pinterest. <br>
<br>
Here is a link to an example of these type binders that I am rebranding Busy Work Binder!<br>

<strong>Hopefully</strong> these little puppies with help out when I need to focus on one kid at a time. My master plan is to have one kiddo work on the laminated pages and learning aids (math flash cards, letter cards and the like) while I work on math and/or reading with the opposite kiddo. Then we will work on the notebooking pages together during our CC memory work time.<br>

"Why are my strawberries rotting on the vine?" she ponders to no one it particular, seeing as everyone else is ensconced in the AC cooled house.<br>
But, never fear lady hero! Google is on the case and revels that...wait for it...strawberries can't be left on the ground to ripen. They will rot. <br>
"Thank you Google!" Cries our relived, and somewhat embarrassed, heroine.<br>
Tune in next time to see what other perils await our gardening maven!<br>

Lillian is into jewelry lately and is making all kinds of necklaces. So, during school work time today I got a excellent brainwave to make a necklace out of a TP roll and yarn!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I cut each roll into four pieces and let her watercolor paint and draw on them with markers. You could also add stickers and glitter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Then once she had made her "beads" she strung them on the yarn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Super easy, fun and a great way to entertain her during our lesson time. </div>

We are embarking on our Classical Conversations journey this school year!<br>
So far we are really enjoying it and James seems to be responding to the curriculum very well.<br>
<br>
If you are unfamiliar with Classical Conversations, it is based heavily on memorization and the classical model of learning. (the classical in Classical Conversations) ;)<br>
<br>
I am really loving it because it is very paperwork light! We go over our memory work with the aid of maps and songs, we read literature about a time period or idea, watch videos and do projects to reinforce the memorized work.<br>
<br>
We still have to do our own math and reading work, but even that is just books and an online program Explode the Code.<br>
<br>
All in all we are having fun so far this year!<br>
<br>
Here is a smattering of what we have been up to...<br>

James and Lillian when to a class about Dinos, then we walked the gardens. <br />
They aren't the biggest botanical gardens I have been to, but the children's garden is the bomb! (Pardon my 90's expression)<br />
It is fairy tale themed and super cute. It has lots of fun things like mazes, paths, a rainbow section, water play areas, and a butterfly garden. <br />
I got in some trouble with the kids because I didn't know about the afore mentioned water play areas and didn't have our suits. <br />
Next time!!<br />

Last week James and I spent probably 20 minutes on YouTube looking at Chinese dances, and he really enjoyed comparing a picture of a rooster and a picture of China and pointing out the similarities.<br />
<br />
This week is South Africa!<br />

<span style="color: black;"><i><u>Ingredients:</u></i></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> • 1/4 cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> • 2 egg yolks</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> • 1/2 cup salted butter</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> • 1 cup all-purpose flour</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> • 1 cup strawberry (or your favorite) jam</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> (traditionally red bean paste is used so</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> if you want a more authentic version,</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> you can use a can of red bean paste</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> instead of the jam).</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><i><u>Directions:</u></i></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> 2. Combine the butter, sugar and 1 egg yolk</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> and stir.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> 3. Mix in the flour.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> 4. Form the dough into one large ball and</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> wrap it in plastic wrap.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> 5. Refrigerate dough for half an hour.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> 6. Unwrap the chilled dough and form small</span></span></td><td align="right" valign="top"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img src="http://www.dltk-holidays.com/china/images/mooncakes.jpg" /> </span></td></tr>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make a Chinese Lantern</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You will need</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A4 size card or paper</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">pencil</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">glue</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">scissors</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">sticky tape</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Activity</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Fold the card in half lengthwise.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Starting at the folded side, draw pencil lines across it, not all the way across, on which to cut. Make sure the lines are equal in length and evenly spaced.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Cut along the lines carefully.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Unfold the card.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Take the top and bottom ends of the card, overlap them and paste them together to make a cylinder.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. Cut a strip of paper and attach it to make the handle.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7. If you make more than one lantern, hand them on a string across the room.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Variations</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Decorate the card with crayons, glitter, sequins, etc before making the lantern.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Alternatively, paste cellophane paper onto the inside of the card after cutting the slits. This will create a colorful effect when the sun shines on the lanterns.</span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>Books to Check Out</strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">My favorite part of learning is always reading, a new book can give great understanding into subject. Especially when you are learning about a new culture. Seeing pictures and your child seeing a country from the familiar perspective of a child can really cement his understanding of the place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Here are some books worth a look...</span><br />

I got this little building kit at Lowes and it is super cute and fun. He needed a little help getting the nails started but other than that he did it on his own. <br />
Once he had it built he painted it and put the stickers on. <br />
The best part (for me at least) was the fun track they drew!<br />

After much consideration I landed on a fun spring wreath with navy blue, that is her favorite color. <br />
After a search on old faithful Pinterest and a trip to The Mother Ship (hobby lobby), I came up with two wreaths for her to pick from. <br />
What do you think? She chose the navy striped one and the other fab wreath is up in the etsy store!<br />

It is a beautiful piece, but is a little damaged from storage. I am working on giving it a new life, while honoring the old. I am an antique geek!!<br />
Phase one: painting the top with a striped pattern to give it a fresh look and to hide some damage. <br />
Phase two: some snappy new knobs! (thoughts??)<br />

Glue, dark paper, paintbrushes, salt and water colors or food coloring.<br />
<br />
Use your liquid glue to create a picture then sprinkle it with salt. Let it dry then create some salty art!<br />
<br />
We started out using watercolors and that worked fine, but it had to be super wet in order to work correctly and that was proving difficult for my little dude. I switched to water and food coloring and that worked great! <br />

You and your little girl can have a blast making and playing with these magnetic paper dolls!<br />
<br />
Supply list:<br />
<a href="http://tpettit.best.vwh.net/dolls/pd_scans/betsy_mccall/index.html" target="_blank">Betsy McCall</a> Paper Dolls <br />
Sticky backed magnetic sheet (any craft store)<br />
Scissors<br />
Printer<br />
Paper (thick paper is best)<br />
<br />
With the above Betsy McCall link you can download as many paper dolls and from whatever era of fashion you want! It is super fun to look at all of the funky paper dolls from the 50s and 60s.<br />
I put mine into paint and cut and pasted them closer together and then printed the off on cardstock paper.<br />
Once you have them printed off cut them out with a nice thick white boarder and stick them to your magnetic sheet.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif9kUxgs6X5FF7cQhiQ0USK5g_niPFU6IPsBqc5XDtSojwuyxxp_iXNkGhdCG2TB6kutUYMv1IoIUrubETzPNKqAQrjHkct-yZTNR3qzhzce3iMeTVvjsmasB82YczQ2t8YelGF2Dr_ZUF/s640/blogger-image--1837400872.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif9kUxgs6X5FF7cQhiQ0USK5g_niPFU6IPsBqc5XDtSojwuyxxp_iXNkGhdCG2TB6kutUYMv1IoIUrubETzPNKqAQrjHkct-yZTNR3qzhzce3iMeTVvjsmasB82YczQ2t8YelGF2Dr_ZUF/s400/blogger-image--1837400872.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Then, cut them out creating a thinner white boarder. It is alot easier to cut if you cut on both paper and magnetic sheet, and I think having a white boarder on the finished look looks the best. <br />

<br />
You can use them on the fridge, an old mint canister or get creative on a thin sheet of metel. I am planning some kind of framed metal sheet so I can incorperate a bed and other household items.<br />

James is doing really well with the sounds of the letters but is still having trouble recognizing the uppers and lowers as the same letter.<br />

I added numbers to the bottom, 1-12, and gave James a pile of Cheerios. He loved it and really loved getting to eat the cherries as we finished the rest of our school work! <br />
