SCHOOL STUFF

It is good to be back into the swing of things. Homeschooling is going well these days. Caleb has shown a lot of improvement lately which is basically due to the fact that he is simply getting older. For example, Caleb's reading improved over the month of December..........however, we did very little schooling during the whole pneumonia bout. For the longest time he and Adam were just about on the same level in reading and math, but suddenly the gap has gotten much bigger. It hasn't made things harder for me to teach them together though. They just read different books, do different workbooks, and I give Caleb harder math problems than Adam.
All in good time, my dears!

This semester, our co-op class is doing Zoology. We will be doing a unit on the flying and water animals (the fifth day of creation). It should be fun. Botany was good and this will be similar. We have also started making weekly trips to the big downtown library every Wednesday. Mimi watches Annabelle for us because she earned herself the nickname "Sabotagiiiieeee" last time she came along. We borrowed some books on cd for our trips to Black Mountain and it has been wonderful! We just finished up "Across five Aprils" which is one of my personal favorite books. we learned so much about the civil war and enjoyed a really great story at the same time. There are many other things that I want to do with cds in the car as well. The boys are such a captive audience at this time of the day so I am really trying to take advantage of it. We also plan on getting back to the Wednesday night kid camp at our church this week. They will be doing pottery and then a catechism class.......should be interesting to see how the pottery works out.

So there is a little update for anyone interested in the education process of Caleb and Adam Harrison.

Here is a little video of Annabelle to finish out. She is looking a bit rough, but oh well. She loves hanging out like this. Uncle Jonathan says she looks like a little hippy boy when her hair is down.
