Year Round

In order to plan for some time off/slower schedule when Baby arrives, 
we began school in July this year!  
Corban is in 2nd grade!
learning about the differences 
of globes vs. maps






His curriculum is:
Bible, History/Geography, Science, and Art:  MFW Exploring Countries and Cultures
Math:  Horizons 2
Abigail is doing a pre-k/Kindergarten mixture!
Her curriculum is:
Language Arts:  First Language LessonsBOB booksKumon Rhyming Words 
and handwriting practice
Math:  Kumon Simple Addition and Lollipop Logic
Bible, History, Science and Art:  with Corban's MFW (but shortened)

Corban and Abigail will both be in Classical Conversations Foundations 
classes this year and that program will begin the first week of September.  
We went to a Classical Conversations Parent Practicum (for me) and Children's Camps (Geography/Drawing for Corban, Play Camp for Abigail, and Nursery for Hadassah) in July.  It was a fun time for the children and a great learning and encouragement for me!

Today, Corban went to a Robotics program at the library!  He enjoyed learning about robots and as a team building "dancing ducks" with Legos connected to a computer program.
