Rabbit's Money Crop

We worked on this project together today and revisited the story as we worked. I was in charge of the trees and some of the auxiliary animals, Z did the main characters and rabbits hut. Schooling has been challenging the last few months and I realize that I am a bit burnt out. I spoke to my Waldorf mentor and she said I should back off of the writing a bit and only do a small amount every week and step up some of the other things, which is what we have been doing. I don't sweat school. Z practices music daily, we do mental math, number journeys and the occasional worksheet, try to get outside regularly and have been working through the Animal Legends Main Lesson Block. It has been much less "schoolish" around here and the butting heads problem has diminished. Hopefully I'll be back to my old self as well.

Z's in front then mine then the one that 3yo demanded (and then pretty well smooshed.)

The Tortoise and the Hare

From Woolfairy

Is it strange that my 2nd grader insists that he wants the hare to win and therefore will not use his movable painting to let the tortoise win? Can you guess which is his?

The City Mouse and the Country Mouse

(I started telling it with that title and so I got stuck with it. Oops!)

So we told this story this week, made little felt mice to have a puppet play with, and did a MLB page. The photos are awful, so sorry!

I thought I should get something current up!
