January Update

I'm going to try to do a short version of our lives over the past few months. This post is catching you up on January.

We joined a book club. We select one book a month and read it at home. Then we all meet as a group to discuss it as well as work on preplanned activities. Our book of the month in January was "The Whipping Boy".

At home we had "Teatime Tuesday" while we read our book. We also made our own covers for "The Whipping Boy".

At the end of the month we met with the group for book club. The kids made shields and decorated them with a coat of arms that they selected. We also discussed food, vocabulary, and some history. (February we missed because I was super sick, and March's book club will be part of another post.)

These two fantastic kids earned new karate belts!

In science we spent the month learning about solids, liquids, and gas.

In History we studied Ancient Greece and their war against Persia.

Miscellaneous pictures of our month include:
