homeschool wrap-up: december and january!

we missed the december post so this is a joint post for most of what we did for the past two months in homeschool.
i say most because our season was so busy that i didn't get to take alot of pictures and during the move from my parents' house to our house, i might have "misplaced" a few pieces of art or the occasional craft.
but all in all, we had a great two months and its nice to be in our new place and in our new schoolroom!

working on letters and phonics

threading practice
