Part one in the series on our trip to TX and NM last week....

Christmas Program

Emily was part of the dance routine and Daniel played 3 Christmas songs on the fiddle.

All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth

On Thin Ice

We went ice skating this week with our co-op and had a fantastic time! Daniel and Emily figured out how to spin on one skate -- I can't even do that!

1-2-3-1-Awesome

1-2-3-1-Awesome is the phrase Daniel says when he sees certain times on the digital clock -- on the hour, or 11:11, 5:55, etc. Interesting.

Colonial Occupations

As part of our co-op history class, Daniel and Emily have been learning about colonial times. As a final project, each child presented about a colonial occupation.

Daniel was a cabinet maker, and he served as my apprentice while making a cabinet for our doll house. It turned out really cute, and he was a confident presenter this morning, smiling the whole time.

Emily was a printer/binder, and enjoyed making letter stamps and stamping out words and phrases. She was nervous about presenting, but did a really good job.

I am glad that they were both assigned jobs that we could do a hands-on project with at home, and that they liked it.

I watched all the kids present, as they are the same kids I teach in Science. It was so neat to see them!!
