"Family Night" & November Snow!

Our homeschool co-op fall semester ended this week and we had "Family Night". This allows the kids to display some of the projects they have made and some of the classes do presentations. It's fun for the kids and we always look forward to it.

Nathan took a class on "Slavery in America" where he learned what life was like for a slave. I am so impressed at the things he learned and some of the things he came home and taught me that I never knew. He also took a class called "Investigate This" where he learned how to do research and write reports. He made several different file folder reports on minerals, jellyfish, Yellowstone, Endangered Animals, and one about himself! I count it such a blessing to be part of this group and for other Moms that use their talents to share knowledge with my child. Emily took a "Little House in the Big Woods" class where they read and discussed the entire 1st book in the Laura Ingalls Wilder series and made some really fun crafts. Her other class was a "Picture This" art drawing class. Her "Little House" class did a short skit for family night acting out scene from one of the chapters, here she is in her pioneer attire!

We were tickled to wake up Friday morning to snow flurries! We don't see a whole lot of snow here, and we have never seen it in November so this was a treat. It lasted just long enough to make a light dusting on the deck and for the kids to ask if we were taking a "snow day" off from school!
