October Week 4

We finished up our geography unit.

With this unit we studied the 

Mississippi River.  I wanted to broaden

things beyond our town and state.

We also studied about the states that 

touched the river.  We learned about

the river itself.  We used Minn of 

Mississippi for the general study.

Finished the unit up with a wonderful

book called Down the Mississippi

by Clyde Robert Bulla

He writes very interesting stories 

on many subjects.  

The books are perfect for the 

kids to read themselves.

 We spent our Tuesday co-op

field trip back in time.

A 1858 farm in fact.

We went to Oliver Kelly Farm.

This farm is still working in 

the manner in was originally.

They had big beautiful barns

 Lots of animals the kids got to touch

Here, you'll notice Matthew is being completely

devoured by a overly friendly cow!

They all had a great time.

Wednesday the boys had their 

art and writing classes.

Matthew had violin practice.

He also had a violin concert this week.

 The boys also LOVE climbing.

I took them to vertical endeavors

for some climbing time and exercise.

Matthew liked it so 

much I think he might 

join a home school 

climbing team.

We also started up our weekly skate 

training with uncle Chad and Bryce.

Bryce and the kids came this week.

It was really good for them.

If only I could get Taggert out there!

Until next week
