New Do's

Perhaps not related to schooling and certainly not homeschooling, but here are a few pics of Izzy and Tori doing school work, in their new feety-pajamas.

It's been a wonderful time with homeschooling. The girls just completed their first quarter. They did have a week off early in November to go with Grandpa and Busha to Rhinelander for a week of vacation. Because of this, they got a little behind in some of the testing, but have made it up with "double potions" this Thanksgiving week.

Isobelle just finished up reading Robinson Crusoe. Victoria has been studying ecosystems.

The girls have started playing some Christmas tunes for piano lessons too!

Science Explorations & LOTR

Isobelle if finally getting into the kind of science she is enthusiastic about: beakers, potions and solutions, oh my. She's learned about dissolving solutes in solvents as well as saturation rates. It's exciting to see her enjoying science. In the last couple photos, she was testing out the chromatography of some markers we had laying around the house. Fun!

She also had to choose a novel to read for school. The Fellowship of the Ring (Lord of the Rings) was one of the options, and she quickly went for it. She just finished yesterday!
