Spring School Update

 Here is another school update. We have been hard at work this spring!

A view of a typical school mornings.

 

Jacob is really hitting a huge learning curve this Spring.  He is growing up too fast!

 He is also having a blast practicing on his new guitar with Daddy.

 

The younger boys love that Gracie is devouring books lately. They have another older sibling that will read to them for long periods of time.

 

We have continued our travels this Spring through Asia. First stop was India. Friends of our family helped us celebrate our study of India by sharing dishes, decorations, and outfits from their own family.

Isaac was being temperamental that day and was not in the mood to dress up! This was our most authentic meal and celebration yet!

 Our entire family devoured the curry chicken or "spicy chicken" as Jacob called it. That dish has now become a staple in our family meal routine.

Time playing outside, we are enjoying the beautiful spring weather. I just love that our little girl is a book worm like her mother at that age!

Big brothers are great for helping with bike rides

and shooting arrows!

Next we set off for China! Here the boys are learning how to play Chinese checkers. (Great Grandma Jean would be proud. It was her favorite game to play with grandkids!)

 

We made Chinese lanterns for decorations.

 The kids all had fun practicing with chopsticks for our Chinese meal. (No, I did not cook a thing. We had our favorite Chinese take out! Confessions of a homeschool Mama!)

Next, we hopped over to Japan. The art of origami was a huge hit with all the kids.

As a special treat to conclude our study of Japan, we had diner at our favorite hibachi restaurant.

Isaac is so proud of himself that he can get the edamame out of the pods! 

 Checking out the Koi pond outside.

We are now on our way to Russia! Stay tuned!
