A New School Year
The kid's had such a busy summer it was hard to believe we had to start up another school year so soon.They both had great baseball seasons which lasted from May through July.
They enjoyed a 2 week theater camp the first part of June and ended the weeks with performances for the parents.
Chance was a pigeon from New York City and Finn was a violin playing pig.
They kept up on their piano lessons too. It's so nice to have music in the house.
Then in July we ventured to my alma mater and they had a week of kid's camp up at Cornell. Chance studied cooking and Finn had fun learning about birds and bugs. Besides these "classes" they visited several Ithaca locations like Treman State Park, Stewart Park, The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, The Cornell Dairy Bar and The Science Center. They had such a good time they'd like to do this camp every year.
Chance completed another belt in tae kwon do during July and has 6 months before he can test for his black belt.
Chance has a new responsibility too. A new puppy came into our house at the end of July. Baxter adores him!
This week we ventured over to Brookfield zoo with a homeschool group. The kids had a good time.
Zoos are not my favorite places to visit as most of the animals look sad and unhappy to be behind bars. It gives the kids an opportunity to see and learn about animals from all over the world so I'm glad I took them.
This year we're studying Medieval History together then they're studying separately for the other subjects. In science this year Finn is learning about Astronomy while Chance is studying Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. You'll always find them together on Friday(our experiment day) as they both enjoy experiments regardless of the "grade" level. In Math Chance has started Pre-Algebra and really likes it so far.
They both have English, spelling, handwriting, and geography too. It's no surprise our days are flying by!
We're off to a great school year.
