The King of Irelands Son






 Winter came with a bang this past week and we 
thoroughly enjoyed a foot of snow!  That 
really inspired us to get festive.  With crafts
baking cookies and a gingerbread house.





 For our more formal school work we continued on with 
Math practice.  My boy loves games.  He is catching on pretty 
quick with all the math concepts we are learning in our curriculum.
This prompted me to look outside of waldorf pedegogy and just find some
practice.  I want him to really grasp it in his bones.  He played tons
of games on Kahn Academy.  This is by far his favorite computer
games to play.  The web site has updated with a variety of subjects
so we can get practice with all areas of our schooling.

For more counting and addition practice we taught him how to 
play cribbage!


 He loves it and is pretty good so far he beat his 
grandpa with a 24 hand :)


I also decided to mix in The King of Ireland's Son.
This is a classic novel written for children.
The kids are loving every single second I bring that book out.
It is enchanting and beautiful, I love it too.

Here is some examples of the art we have done so far...








After the first week of starting our new book everyone fell ill.
Good news is I could read to them from this amazing story.



He looks like there is a halo :)

We are almost feeling better.




Merry Christmas everyone!
until next week
