School Year Begins

We started home schooling in earnest on Tuesday.  We have a new history curriculum which we are all enjoying.  We are continuing with Human Anatomy in Science.  In Language arts, we are working hard at writing this year as well as spelling.  More details to come as we go along.  For now, here are some pictures of the first week.  Next week we will add more subjects - we have to figure out a way to get Latin in there!  We also will add some activities.  Hope you enjoy the updates!

Ethan and Aaron fixed the go cart that had been broken.  They are enjoying riding around the yard after school is done.

Aaron and Ethan wanted to set up a tent in the back yard.  I asked if they knew how to set up a tent.  They told me that Grandpa showed them how! (OK, they needed a little help, but did most of it themselves.)

Ethan is hard at work keeping our yard in somewhat good shape.

We are learning about the cardiovascular system in Science.  This is a model of the heart using graham crackers, marshmellows, and frosting.

Aaron is more of my hands-on learning student.  He is working on the heart model.
