Family Schooling Summary

I am the assistant teacher in the Spanish Culture Class at co-op school. This week the main teacher was away on vacation, so I volunteered Daddy to teach the kids about Honduras.  Thay made clay versions of Mayan sculptures.

I made corn tortillas, beans, and rice -- which is what Daddy ate almost every day when he was a missionary in Honduras.

Daddy showed the kids pictures and artifacts from Honduras. Then they played a game with wooden tops in the parking lot. I asked A what her favorite part of the class was. She liked the game with tops the best.

Daddy really enjoyed M's Lego class:

M made a Japanese pellet drum in his preschool music class at co-op school.

We also had a field trip to one of our local nature centers for Joy School this week. We visiting one of the exploration play rooms and saw a variety of reptiles and amphibians.

This nature center is great because it has a series of indoor caves for the kids to explore. One of them even has underground windows into a small pond.

It is the same one that has the wigwam and tree canoe.

We also celebrated Daddy's birthday this week. The kiddos got a little carried away with the candles.  We had 37 or so on this rhubarb pie. 

Another illustration of why 4 kids in one small bedroom might be too many.  Still looking for the right new house though.
