In January Nathan learned to drive a car being towed. He has since been a huge help in the shop.
The boys participated in several Champion for Kids service projects while shopping at our local Walmart store. They learned about giving back and helping out.
We took a couple trips to the Oregon Zoo including a special Summer Concert trip. The boys loved watching the giraffes.
We attended the OCEANetwork Homeschool conference where Nathan and Daddy got to dissect a sea star.
The boys found out that our backyard pond is a great place to learn and play in the summer heat.
The boys participated in the summer reading program through the local library, each earned a t-shirt and trophy and Nathan won a huge box of fuzoodles.
The boys got a true living history unit study with Papa when he did a unit on the Korean War from the perspective of someone that served. I am proud to say my Dad is an Army veteran of the Korean War.

We participated in the Homeschool Day at the Oregon Gardens with lots of other homeschoolers on a beautiful September afternoon.
We spent several afternoons at the new local indoor play and party center Imagine: Play
Mostly we had fun learning together as a family.
Looks like a fun year! :)

ReplyDeleteGo for it Mallery. Michael is still young but there are so many fun learning activities to do when they are small that gets them excited about learning.
