Our school routine is fairly basic so far this year. We cover some good lessons at home and join a few groups for other school time.
Michael is participating in a extracurricular boys group called Knights of Freedom. I love the topics and activities he participates in. And that he can be with some boys his age who enjoy learning.
We also go to a "Living History Co-op" a few times a month too.
Michael devours books from the library on every topic non-fiction and fiction. Some regulars are from the Boxcar Children and Tennis Shoes among the Nephites series', Boys Life Magazines, and any National Geographic Kids.
Jordan reading is improving by leaps and bounds too. He enjoys the stories in "100 Easy Lessons" and reading a book each month to discuss with a "Young Boys Book Club" at the library.
Otherwise we schedule in a few fun and interesting field trips each month.
Here are a few schoolish moments of our days this year so far:
 |
| Tessa's playdough creation during Michael's math lesson |
 |
| Jordan and Tessa in a fun "Monster" theme storytime while Michael reads in the big kid section of the library |

| Jordan loved this field trip! |

| Michael went to a fencing class for a few weeks. He is in the center of this photo in (oversized) fencing garb. Jordan had tumbling at the same time and sadly in all the weeks of class I never got a picture of him.... | |
