One of the reasons life has been so crazy is our newest addition joined our family in late spring. And this September I started homeschooling my oldest and doing some school stuff with my middle child. I've been using Alpha and Omega for phonics and math with my oldest and Explode the Code with my middle. We have also been reading Little House in the Big Woods, and since LHitBW talks a lot about bears we've done some further investigation into bears. Did you know that the polar bear is the largest bear species?
I follow another homeschoolin' mama on Facebook and after viewing a video clip that she The Crafty Homeschool Mama shared where she and her daughter recited the poem When the Frost is on the Punkin by James Whitcomb Riley I wanted to try to have my girls recite a seasonal poem. I wasn't sure that they could recite James' poem and figured that 5 Littles Pumpkins was more doable. I also thought it might be fun to turn it into a shadow puppet show for when their daddy got home. It still could use some work but they just learned it today! Here is the video of their presentation of 5 Little Pumpkins, hope you enjoy!
