Today was a big day on the slopes- first my boy overcame some fear and took his first ride up the mountain on the chairlift (!!!), which opens up a whole new playscape to explore- watch out below 🥴, AND Grandpa drove all the way from NY and met us at the mountain!!!! The kids were stoked to show off their new skills and share one of the highlights of our school year with him! ❤️❤️❤️

T and B have been working through the 𝘚𝘵𝘪

T and B have been working through the 𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘚𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭é Primer curriculum on Wednesdays with their big sisters as their fearless leaders, which enables me to check in, plan out and discuss the CC Challenge III weekly assignments with their senior sister, J. This crew has been learning all about the Water Cycle this term! Here is some of the hands-on fun they worked on and explored today! ⁣
⁣
I am so grateful for these easy, fun, go to learning prompts, and for the amazing leadership of G and R to carry them out! Training them up young! 🤣 ⁣

We are continuing with our broad scope of learning

We are continuing with our broad scope of learning about ancient Africa this term with our 𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘚𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭é community (www.stillwatersschole.com), so after morning independent work for the girls and one on one time lesson with me for Troy and Bonnie, we all gathered at the table for an introduction to this week’s geography, African countries, with some map work, reading and a fun puzzle of Africa I picked up at a tag sale many years ago. Then we continued on to this week’s history memory work sentence, song, copywork complete with illustrations based on various picture books we read about Prince Henry the Navigator, early navigation and mapworking, and what effects all this had on early African trade, colonization and the slave trade. ⁣
⁣
Knowing history helps us see the downstream effects one decision, development or action can have on generations to follow (even if the aftermath was never the originators’ intent). Humbling and sobering for sure! 🌍 ⁣

We rocked some “car-schooling” on the way to the slopes today complete with our audio daily devotional (we are working through 𝘉𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘱 app and correlating podcasts as a family with the hope to read through the whole Bible in a year…and maybe a few extra months 🤣), memory work songs, creating silly limerick poems together (which has become a tradition now!), conversation, laughter, listening and discussing an audio version of our science text, 𝘈𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘢 𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘺, and then sharing in the audiobook of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘰𝘺 𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘥 (𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘍𝘰𝘭𝘬𝘴’ 𝘌𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯) on our drive home (the first chapter was a bit dark, but based on a true story, we are loving all we are learning about life in Malawi, Africa through this engaging book)! Salted and Roasted grasshoppers or sautéed ants for dinner, kids?!?! 🐜 ⁣
⁣
Fresh air, sunshine, and QT with one another and LOTS of friends!! This is exactly what my mama heart needed! 🎿 🌞 🙌🏻⁣
