For January we started a new block
Matthew studied Man and Animal.
for this I used Charles Kovak's books.
Wesley studied Jatka tales.
Keeping with the animal theme
we read the Jungle book as a family.
for extra lesson Matthew studied
local climate and geography
with a series of books called
a walk in a ...
we did a boreal forest and the tundra.
Matthew also learned three new classical
music pieces on the violin all by Bach.
So we began Bach studies. We read a
wonderful book about his childhood
This series was great. I want more
books from it. This led us to
a Beethoven study as well.
His life was equally as interesting.
Other Highlights of January were of course
Birthdays!
Wesley turned 8
and Taggert turned 3!
We celebrated Wesley's with Molly
and Jude at pump it up
And Taggert's we celebrated with
a small gathering of cousins at
grandma's house.
Wesley also got to skate with his team on the Minnesota Wild's ice
Tillie started Ballet which she LOVED!
We did some ice fishing in January and February.
Matthew caught this huge crappie
Until next
March/April
