January/February 2015

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
