Addy's shapes math


Hi, it's me, Addy. I've been doing shapes on math. And I'm doing really well! This next exercise is going to be really fun. I just did a really hard one and I got them all right.

I like doing shapes math.

Note from Mom: I'd like to tell the entire homeschool community how thrilled I am with Addy's math curriculum. She just completed an elementary version of a Sudoku puzzle, using shapes instead of numbers. We use Singapore Math, which published even its U.S. edition long before Sudoku became popular on this side of the ocean. Addy is finishing up Primary Mathematics 1A and will soon move into level 1B, then go onto 2A and so on.
Yes, she's doing school wearing her pajamas and a giant cow head. Doesn't everybody?

Addy and Dori raising money for Mission India




Mission India is way to raise money for Mission India. We collect money and put it in a little rice bag and send it to somewhere so it can be turned into India money. Women and girls in India can't go to school so we are putting our spare money into the bag to send to Mission India.
The top picture is us picking up tomatoes to raise money. Each tomato we picked up the more pennies Mama would give me for the bag.
This is us returning bottles for Mission India. We found these bottles at the farmhouse.

Sending stuff to Iraq

This is me and Dori after we went and got a few things for soliders in Iraq. Mama gave me a budget to work with and I kept track. She didn't want to spend any more than $20. I chose most of the things. Sometimes Dori wanted some M&Ms for them. We bought them and then we sent them.
