Pumpkin Patch

We went on a beautiful nature hike up Logan Canyon to 2nd Dam on Friday and enjoyed plant identification, geo cashing, snacks and friends. We so enjoyed the colors of fall and the clean fresh air. We loved feeding a few ducks, with zoo approved pellet's, and explored a pond.

Saturday we went on another mini field trip as we explored a local pumpkin patch in search of the perfect pumpkins for the girls. Stetson stayed at home during this outing helping Dad in the basement paint doors. We didn't just buy pumpkins as you can see we found all sorts of delicious squash to cook up all winter long. I love the shelf life of this beautiful produce. 

We missed Co-op this week due to the three youngest having very runny noses. We are on the mend though and look forward to going this week. 

CTC Math is going well for all of the kids. Some math concepts are a little hard for Hailey to learn on her own so I usually sit near by during her time. Evelyn is doing great. She and I both really enjoy the feature that allows her to listen to the questions simply by pressing a button. I think that makes her feel more independent. Stetson at time gets frustrated with the program but it is more that he gets wrong answers and needs to keep learning the concepts. I hope that his patience will improve as the year goes on. 

 

Grammar is going really well. I love the cursive that Stetson is doing and how hard he works to make it look just like the examples in his book. Hailey has so much fun with her exercises and drawing and is eager to do her assignments. Evelyn is reading much better and we are excited for her improvement. She did a reading assessment and struggled through a lot of the words but I know her time and understanding will improve this year.
