Hoppin' Along with our study of Frogs

 FROGS...FROGS....FROGS... 

They are jumping all over the house!

inside of the lapbook

front: colored frog & glued frogs

back cover: dot to to numbers 0-30

 We spent the month of March studying frogs. We studied about the metamorphosis of a frog, compared toads and frogs, why they sing, forms of defenses, where they live, and then we counted frogs for math, read the 5 speckled frogs, saw videos on frogs. We also watched a video on the 5 speckled frogs where the kids had fun singing, counting, and dancing to the music.

how they get bugs

We also put together a lapbook of various printouts that I had accumulated. I know of a couple sites where I got the information from. I would like to personally thank Home school Creations, 1+1+1=1, Raising Rock Stars Preschool & Kindergarten, Webkinz, and a few other minor sites. My sons enjoyed learning all about frogs. My daughter enjoyed the pictures of the frogs.

I had printed out a  poster of the frog's life cycle
and a math worksheet for him.



I had  laminated the poster to be able to reuse, but ll of the other stuff he enjoyed  cutting an gluing it all  together.



My sons and daughter had fun learning about frogs, counting frogs, coloring frogs, watching the videos, and even dancing to the song and video of "The 5 speckled Frogs".

Homeschool Day Book Program

Quick and easy homeschool record keeping and time tracking

I recently got a chance to review and download a Homeschool Day Book to help keep track of their daily attenence and what the did their assignments. This day book is good for keeping track of the attendance and what the did, unfortunately no pictures can be added to the entries for a visual proof.

this is where ou can add the daily attendance by adding book entries on each subject and child to keep logs. As ou can see from the entr, I have recorded for m 3 yr old son's prewriting assignment.

I see this program is great for any form of homeschooling, even with the use of an online virtual school, this program is nice to keep track of any supplaments that you may add to their regular assignments. I can print off a printout of what they did and then send it into their teacher for credit since I use K12 for my children's main schooling. I can also add field trips to this log to help keep track of places we go for school.

this is the moonthly view of the attendance. As you see on the 20, I have  recored atendance for three of my children.

It first shows up to allow 7 children in the beginning steps, but after I finished the two steps, I was able to add more children to the manage Kids section, 

I have added my 7 children to this program, but it will allow me to add more. I have added my daughter into the log (she is 2 yrs old).

I was able to add to the subjects after I accepted the general list of subjects. I was also able to add special subjects for my toddler/preschooler so I can keep track of what the do along with their siblings. I like being able to record what the younger ones are doing so that it gives me a visual log of their progress. I can also add Unit studies to the subjects too.

THis is the subject area. As you can see in the list, I have added letters and coloring for my younger two children.I will also add Occupational Therapy for them where they will be learning cutting, beading, sizing, etc.

The last part of this program is the printing capabilities. With this program, I can printout a specific day or period to show proof of their attendance. I can choose either all of the kids or just 1 child and then I choose either one subject or a particular subject..

I have found this program to be useful and it also tames the paper tiger with not having to print out a new log sheet. I like the fact that I can keep logs of their attendance in one place and not worr about printing out sheets daily.

I would recomend this program for anone who is homeshooling any type of schooling. I feel that its beneficial to everyone. If ou are a homeschooling parent, you too can download this programm and try it out. If you like it and give it a review on your blog, they will give you the permenat code to allow to use it forever.
