A big day at Veritas


You may know already that we homeschool our children. What you may not know is that we are a part of a wonderful homeschool co-op that meets each week. Our children take some really great classes there. For example, Haleigh took Botany, Spanish and Creative Dramatics this past trimester and Caleb took Dinosaurs, Games played around the world and Learning to Shop with Math. Most classes are only 1 trimester long, but there are some exceptions. Haleigh is taking Botany all year long and their afternoon activities (Tae Kwan Do and art) stay the same. This past week was the last one for several classes and so, many were showing off what they had learned. Haleigh performed a monologue in her Creative Dramatics class and Caleb finished a lapbook he had created for Dinosaurs. They both also had a test in Tae Kwan Do that they were very excited about. The best part was that Mimi and Granddaddy were in town to
come watch!
I got to teach this fun class that Caleb was in. We learned about Dinosaurs and Creation according to the Biblical account. We made a lap book to display all of the things we learned.
Haleigh's monologue was about her life as a cat. She did a great job! Wonder where she gets those acting skills???
Haleigh and Caleb both broke a board as part of their test!
Their instructor is amazing. He really teaches them more than just kicking, punching and breaking boards. They learn respect and self discipline and self control as well.
Aren't they cute?
