Home and School

Here's a catch up post with lots of random photos from winter and spring 2017.

Yule Family Ball
Afternoon exploring at Thanksgiving Point
Leisel posing in her new vest from the Rupps.
4-H training with my new youth council for our school group next year 
learning about the North Pole with Tessa and Leisel's class at Commonwealth
Jordan's art
We bought a rec center pass to get moving during the cold months.  It was great for P.E. a few times a week. 
This time with cousins and Uncle Eric!


Caught in the act.  I love these book moments.
Tessa recited the Queen of Hearts nursery rhyme for the Poetry activity and Valentines exchange.    
Valentines Day pancakes.  I'm loving using my wheat flour with natural yeast. 
The fruit is strawberry jam made with chia.  :)
Another of Jordan's Wedo projects


I love this cute class, "Daughter's of Virtue."  We learn about amazing girls and women from around the world.  We learn a little about the countries they represent and about their talents and area of contribution.  Here's our class trying different musical instruments.  We also had a ballet class in this same spot a few weeks later when we learned about Anna Pavlova.  Ballet skirts and slippers too.  Soo much fun.  

Jordan works hard in math.  He advanced to 6th grade math with Aleks Math half-way through his 4th grade year.

Around the World to Russia in Leisel's preschool class.

Jordan's STEM\tasty creation.

This girl has style.  fanny pack, velvet dress, polyester scarf, sunglasses, etc.
The ultimate goose egg.  She crashed trying to flip over the couch.  Black eye was soon to follow.  

I think Michael spent too much time on the computer last year: typing writing assignments, "going" to an online leadership class, doing audio mixing for his technology class, and sometimes doing math.  This year we are trying to go easy on computer time.  
cute friends in school. 
We'll miss seeing them every week next year, because we will be changing things up again and doing other things next year.  
Tessa put together her "Little House in the Big Woods" paper dolls.
