Friday will be our 120th day of school. Everyone did a great job getting back into school after Christmas break, and we’re clipping along. This past Wednesday we had a history/music/art day with a Chinese theme, since that’s what the past few history chapters have been on recently. We made Chinese lanterns and made peanut butter chicken for lunch. Music class didn’t focus on Chinese music, but we did spent some time watching a video of traditional Chinese music being performed.

In music class, we’ve learned to recognize 15 pieces of classical music – from different genres and time periods. The kids are doing great with recognizing these pieces. They are also thriving with their rhythm reading.

Becca and Isaiah are busy with their jr. high and high school work during our history/music/art days, but they often smile as they walk by and say “I remember doing that!”
