New year 2016 January Week 1

Coming home from Colorado
we started right in with our
lessons.  We had a long break
and I was looking forward to
our rhythm

For homeschool co-op this week
we spent our Tuesday at
MIA, Minneapolis Institute of Art.

We had the best day.
We had a guide take us around.
She explained all the details of
the sculptures and the paintings.

We were so inspired by all the
art of course we had to come home
to paint and draw.
We also researched artists
like Pablo Picasso.

He wanted to try a realistic face

Then, we were back at it with scope,
violin, and hockey.

With scope for the new term
Matthew is learning to compose
a short story correctly.

Violin, he is moving into his
second books of Suzuki and Fiddle.
He is also learning Swedish fiddle.

For hockey Matthew was in a
tournament over the weekend
They ended up taking third place.
He played very well and had fun.
The last game went into a shoot out.

Tillie is still working on her
ballet and phonics.
She is excited to read.

For read aloud I have been visiting
The Family Under the Bridge.

It is such a wonderful
story of homeless life
during the winter in Paris.
We highly recommend it.


Until next week
