SAINTS track & field day

Corban is doing SAINTS P.E. program on Monday afternoons.  Their track and field event day was open to families and he and Abigail really wanted to go!  She even paid the $10 donation for registration for the two of them to participate!  They each participated in 4 events and had a great time.  Hadassah and Asher also had their own events to run in!

January school

Hadassah learned about H/horse, E/elephant, and P/penguin

Corban and Abigail finished their study of Ancient Egypt (through MFW Creation to the Greeks), spent time learning about several other ancient civilizations and have begun to study Ancient Greek culture.  Their Bible lessons, continued through Judges, Ruth and began Samuel.  In Science, their textbooks is laid out in study based upon the days of creation and they are now into Day 3 and learning about the sun, moon, stars and planets.  

Abigail finished the 1st grade readers and began Pathway 2nd grade, book 1, Busy Times

Corban began SAINTS, a Christian homeschool P.E. program.  He goes to Markham Park on Monday afternoons from 1-3 and rotates through various sports with a group of boys his age.  Corban is really enjoying it!  We had taken a break from SAINTS last year and he was excited to be back and to have several friends he already knew in his group.  

Corban and Abigail finished IMACs 2nd quarter classes and Corban continued his 3 classes (once week on Tuesday mornings) for the 3rd quarter.  We have decided to have Abigail take a break from IMACS for the rest of the year.  

Abigail began taking a tap class on Thursday afternoons.
