School Days

This year we started homeschooling with the kids again.  The schedule is different for each of them.  And we find lots of challenging and engaging material to keep up with.  Amazingly they are happy with the change and seem to be thriving.  Here are some photos of school memories this fall.







Grandma and Grandpa started up a Spanish class twice a week for the Grandkids.  
They are getting us ready for mission calls!

On Thursdays we are apart of a commonwealth school group.  The kids have 2-4 classes to take part in throughout the day.  We love it.  They get to do amazing activities!   
Moses and Hiedi were our visitors to teach about Kenya. 

music class on Halloween...thus the costumes (This is one of my favorite teachers and classes!!)
Learning about Spiders and making an edible one


Volcanoes and New Zealand
Brittish Tea Party
Florence Nightengale lamps
building bridges (and shapes)
Christmas songs with handbells
Field trip to Christmas Around the World at BYU 


This is the Shakespeare Fair, Michael's class hosted for our Commonwealth families.  
Tessa was put in the stocks and performed some gladiatorial feats.  

Michael performed a humorous skit in Shakespearean style.


All of the kids performed at the Christmas social.  
Jordan impressed all of us with his skills on the recorder.  

Michael is in the middle back.  He picked up the violin in his beginner Orchestra and performed after 8 weeks.  It was so fun!

these are great updates. good for you to keep it up. I like that M&J are both musical. I love Tessa's Aladdin pics. I love the pics at Grandpa's house. I love your descriptions of how the kids are currently and what they enjoy and what they identify as goals. you're a good mom!
