Daily life is full of learning! Once a child learns to write, they are constantly writing. I included a note that Lily wrote for the tooth fairy, not because it is school work, but because it is so innocent and adorable. Even at 8 years old, Lily has the best imagination and I love that she is still at the age of believing in fairy tales...even if she might have a little idea of things..I think she still wants to believe!
Lily loves doing crafts. Here she is at a church event where she made an ornament and made a nativity picture!
Lily is involved in the It's True hip hop dance team. They meat every week and dance to christian music. I love watching them learn new dance moves and rhythm! Here they are celebrating with their friend, Bria, after their dance program!
Again, here is a little more of Lily's writing and shows her great imagination and sweet character.

Lily and Boston had fun learning about 3 dimensional shapes as they built structures using marshmallows and toothpicks!
As part of our bible curriculum, we learned about the nativity and the birth of God's son. We always enjoy using our Fontanini scene to act it out and learn about each person involved!
Another fun activity was learning to make pumpkin pie with our friends!
We also had a little bit of great weather mixed in with the cold, snowy weather. We enjoyed going on nature walks at the Nature center!
To celebrate reading goals, we get free pizzas at Pizza Hut for reading a certain amount of books each month! They love it, but Lily really doesn't need an incentive to read. She is always walking around with a book. She is even known to walk around the grocery store with me while reading. I just have to tell her to turn so she doesn't run into walls! She started the year reading a lot of Rainbow Fairy books. Now she is reading a lot of Nancy Drew, American girl, and Secret Zoo.
