September 2014

 

September was filled with fun.

We started getting our rhythm...

In addition to our Waldorf curriculum

I added extra math practice

with the Life of Fred series.

I also added practice with grammar

for Wesley and spelling for Matthew.

They are doing work in their workbooks

for this.  Wesley's is Climbing your way to 

good English.  Matthew's is practical spelling.

I felt they were a little behind in these areas and 

the extra practice wouldn't hurt.  I am 

still not sure how much I like to English workbooks,

but we definitely LOVE
Life of Fred!

We celebrated our school year by taking a field trip 

to the Renaissance festive for homeschool day.

Knights and sword fighting!

Aunt Burp and Izzy came with us!!

The boys and Tillie slayed some dragons

Tillie saw real mermaids!

As for the sports

the boys finished up their first year of soccer!

Both of them had a great time.

 Matthew's 3 on 3 hockey team were Champions!

With the Waldorf curriculum we started the year with local 

geography and local history.  Matthew studied our neighborhood and our town.

After looking at and creating maps we ventured out.

We took a history tour at the Wardens house.

This is run by the historical society.  It was the BEST historical tour.

We all had a blast.  I really love history, so my opinion is a bit slanted.

Seeing how peopled viewed slide shows in the late 1800's

Kids on the steps of the Warden's house

We had a very good month

meeting up with our homeschool co-op again

connecting with our friends.  Just coming 

back into our school days always exciting.

until next time
