What a BEAUTIFUL day!

We woke up this morning to such beautiful weather I asked the kids if they wanted to do school outside. Of course they said yes :)
We started with our journals, I wrote our normal chalkboard message on the side walk and the kids Wrote in their journals about their favorite outdoor activity. All three of them came up with some sort of combination of the park and riding their bikes!

We went on to math. Did a little bit of cheddar bunny addition, then did math problems on the driveway! We also played some hopscotch to practice recognizing numbers! Plus it was fun!

Later Lyssi and I snuggled under a tree and read a story from her reader. Afterwards we went and practiced writing and Casten worked on alphabet order.

All in all we've had a really fun morning! They behaved so much better and were much more focused outside. I think we'll be doing more lessons this way!!! Now they are outside having a blast riding bikes with Daddy!
