The kids finished up the fall/winter semesters of local school and homeschool, enjoyed the month of February off, and started back to the school routine at the beginning of March! Thankful for how well they enjoy their school and how much they are learning. Of course, as with any school environment, they are exposed to teachings and other kids’ attitudes that we choose to use as “teachable moments” rather than completely shelter them from. It takes a lot of patience and diligence, but being able to attend local school also has allowed them to become fluent in this language as well as have friends. Here are some pictures from their work they brought home. They have Chinese, math, handwork, agriculture, art, music, calligraphy, and sculpting classes. They also have science and history. One cool thing – Colt’s class was studying ancient civilizations and Hebrew history. They acted out the story of Jospeh being sold as a slave to Egypt in their end of the semester performance. Colt was Reuben. Pretty neat to see all they are learning (that I know nothing about – ha!)
