The focus of our curriculum this year is countries and cultures. The past few weeks we have been focusing on North America. I’m impressed with how much the kids are retaining, especially when they start naming off the island countries in the Caribbean.

We’ve also been reading a biography on Cameron Townsend, the founder of Wycliffe Bible Institute.

They’ve learned a few Spanish phrases and songs to go along with their lessons.

Today we did a ‘paint with yarn’ project during art class. Big E and I made cats, C made a cattercorn (cat/unicorn).

I think they turned out cute!

I feel like we have finally gotten into a good school rhythm for the fall and our school days have gotten drastically shorter, which is awesome.
