Aiden reading.

Here is a sample of Aiden reading. Unfortunately we had a bad day and he would not read to our mentor teacher, so I recorded him instead.

Ballerina

Gemma enjoys dance and the poor girl is stuck with boys all the time so she is back in dance class for some girl time- this time it is ballet. She is so cute, as are all our little ballerina friends. 

 

January

What have we been up to? Here's a little catch up....

 

English worksheets

 

Aiden made his own Coat of Arms in Social Studies.

(There is a bike, love, a crown, a self-designed Canadian family flag, and a person.)

 

Painting jars and adding sparkles. 

 

Painting canvas with primary colors. Keiran's is on the far left and Gemma's is the middle one.

Aiden's is on the far right and is a scene with a red tree, yellow grass and a blue sky. 

 

Dental health :) 

 

Some pretty slack answers. 

 

Aiden is learning about tallying in Math.

 

Some books that Aiden has been reading. 

 

Rubbings of money for our Socials lesson. 

 

Gemma drew a portrait of mom. Haha. 

 

More science that overlaps with health! Nutrition...

 

Our new family photo wall, complete with encouraging words and a "grateful" board for writing "I love yous" and "Thank-yous." 

 

Puzzling. 

 

Mom learned how to paint a bird.

 

Gemma started bus driving ;) 

 

There's Uncle D getting a lift!

 

Walking our beautiful lake path. 

 

The Pond Hockey rinks were ready for the big tournament. 

 

Aiden reading a library book to his brother and sister. 

 

He likes to tell people that he lost his teeth in a hockey fight, but we know that he is just getting bigger!!
