Well, another month has come and gone
and we have been busy learning and playing and growing

dreams and schemes for making the most of it.
Here is some of what we'll be doing this month:

Cleaning the out door furniture and toys.
Cleaning all the windows so we can see
the sun when it returns.;-)
Cleaning all the bird feeders and the birdbaths.

We will use the books in the side bar as well as many others to learn a little bit
more than we did before.I'm sensing a "food theme" working here...I must
have been hungry when making my list up.;-)
Games and crafts will continue to play a huge roll in how we learn here in our
Garden State Homeschool.
We hope to be outside more
and get back to our daily yoga routine.I will make my best effort to keep any of you who are interested up to date
with what we are doing and how we are doing it.Please feel free to e-mail
with questions or suggestions for links and study materials, or just to chat.
I still have craft bags and school bags to make up so I had better get going.
I hope you will all join us for another month of fun and learning.

Thanks for such a detailed post. I'm going to have to take advantage of some of those days, they sound like fun!
Such an ambitious month. It looks like fun though. I cant believe its April already!
Fun ideas. Going to have to use some of them. Mainly all of the food ones. HEHEHEHE
Sounds like some fun in the works for April!
We have decided to get more "serious" about the schoolwork in our house, so I'll be referring back to this post for some inspiration.
You always have such great plans, and I love your seasonal homeschooling style!
How fun! I just finished weeding the orchard and the shrubbery (Monty Python, anyone?). I love the smell of the ground in the spring!
You guys have been up to such fun and great things! We must get together again soon! E asks me all the time about P and when can we do LSC again? ;>)
Thank you all for visiting and commenting.
Mrs D- LOL- Let me stress here, these are plans..we may or may not do things for each day.We are much more "child led" around here, and although I have things ready to go,I will not "force" any of this, if P's not interested..we move on.
It's kindergarten after all. ;-)
Wendy- An orchard? I'm green- with envy!!
Angela- We'd love to see you and your guys too!!
Oooh - fun days ahead. I like the Cheese Fondue Day. :) I am also going to check out your gardening blog. I need some help.
So many neat ideas. We are also considering a worm thing, but from a kit. We looked into doing it from scratch and it looks like it something we have to do inside the house here. Ami read this book last night: "And Then What Happened, Paul Revere?" by Jean Fritz and Longfellows's poem.
We have this picture book "Thomas Jeffereson" by James Cross Giblin.
Cool list.
