October week 5

The weather has been beautiful for this 

late in the year.  We have had a lot of 

wildlife here in our backyard.  They have had

more time to store up for winter this year.

Hopefully it lasts long and spring 

comes early :)

This week we have 

gotten started with 

the basics of workbooks.

We are starting the climbing to 

good English series.  This 

is a language arts curriculum 

intended for an Amish classroom.

I think it is very thorough and 

introduces all of the main

topics of phonics, composition,

grammar, and more.

We have also moved on to 

Life of Fred Farming.

They have missed Fred.

He is so fun.

I have Matthew do 

extra practice along side Fred

because he enjoys math so much.

 This week for our field trip 

with Tree of Life co-op

we went to Crystal Cave in Spring Valley, WI

I thought it was so wonderful.

The cave is very extensive.

I feel that the kids got a lot 

out of it.  All the bats were just in 

time for Halloween....

We had our traditional Halloween.

With Molly, Andrew, Izzy, Azalea

and Grandma Jude.  We went over

to our neighbors and trick or treated 

with our dear neighborhood friends.

 Pumpkin princesses

Tillie has been working really 

hard on her art and I think 

she is advancing very quickly.

Here is her most recent work

 I am very proud of all of their art work.

Or any work for that matter :)

Efforts are so beautiful.

until next week
