On August 17th we did a 'soft' start to the school year while we were still staying on the farm (before the move to our new house).
Rose - 6th Grade, Michael - 4th Grade, and Daisy - 3rd Grade
...With one addition!
Cousin Timothy (8th Grade) joined us because he was still in KY after spending the summer with Grandpa and Grandma on the farm.
We are using a variety of curriculum, but our core curriculum is Heart of Dakota's Resurrection to Reformation
(I will post more about our 2015-2016 curriculum in a later post)
We are learning about the Early Church and the Roman Empire
Here are some work samples...
Everyone is enjoying our Art Appreciation studies.
A Roman arch was erected for the triumph of Constantine. It is still standing today! During our studies about arches they each constructed one with clay. They did not last two hours, let alone 1,700 years.
One great feature of schooling on the farm includes taking nature walks with Grandma!
Among other things, Grandma is teaching them to identify different trees.
We had at a fun weekday pool party with some local homeschoolers
some silly pics with aluminum foil....
Grandpa with the kids...
