Thought we would share a few school projects from this month. (the scanner is merciless and shows every minute smudge etc so bear with us. They look nicer in person)
We have continued our gov't. study. These pages cover the roles of the president. Moira made separate pages for each of the president's jobs (Chief Executive, Legislative Leader, Commander in Chief etc) while Aidan made two pages with a star shape for each role. 
Next came the president's cabinet. They studied the different folks who advise the president and made charts like these:
For copywork we have used the Presidential Oath and some bible verses about praying for our leaders.
We have also REALLY enjoyed the Art Projects for Kids blog/site. The kids have followed some drawing lessons there that are set up similarly to the Draw Write Now program. In Montessori style, they take the student step by step to recreate the illustration. It has been a big hit here.

What a great website. As someone who is “art challenged” I found her website to be inspiring and her projects not intimidating.
LOVE the art and the great schoolwork. &:o) And, Kim, you share the absolute BEST links!
