We took a nice Christmas break, but we did have several weeks of school in December before that.
We have been doing a lot of very fun things, and we are doing them TOGETHER!
Ahhh, such a favorite!
The beginning of December brought our Advent Calendar – a book we have loved before and loved again.
The kids enjoy putting an ornament on the tree each day after our reading!
The beginning of December also brought Christmas hymns to our worship time.
We have some favorites that we like to sing!
It is always a goal of mine to have music playing in the house at some point throughout the day, so we listened to a lot of them too.
We stayed mostly on track those first weeks of December, but had a bit more flexibility in our schedule for the busyness the month brought.
Each day, no matter what was going on, we had our Bible time together, read aloud, and piano practice and lessons!
Those two cuties are excelling quickly in their piano skills, and their Mama had to up her game and study a bit to keep up with them.
I took piano lessons as a child but never continued with it and it has actually been fun to learn with Tate and Eliza!
We have read some GREAT books this year, and A Place to Hang the Moon is an all time favorite now!
We always made room for our water coloring art classes as well!
I LOVE water color as much as they do!!
Now that Christmas break is over, we are back into full days of school.
January through March usually brings the quietest time of year for us, as it is just so cold outside and we do not have as many things on our schedule!
There will be lots more school day posts to share!!
It is a BIG part of our world here!
If you haven’t read a good book or tried your hand at painting, I would encourage you to do so!
It is more fun than you would think!!
Happy New Year, friends!!
Here’s to some fun school days ahead!
