The One-Room School House
We got to see a one-room school house. It was awesome to see the desks, chalkboard, and woodstove and imagine what it must have been like to be a student during that time. The girls even took turns ringing the school bell!

The Good Ol' Days
While studying horses, we checked out some things from the good ol' days. Some of the stuff we saw you just don't even see much any more. Of course, the girls have never seen the things in their lifetime, but now they can say they have seen this history.

Studying Horses~ Kinder Homeschool Semester #2
Jaden and Morgan are well into the 2nd semester of their kindergarten program. They have both already learned so much! They each have a binder that is full of their 1st semester items. I had intended to use one binder for the whole year, but it is already full!! This means that they will have a binder for each semester instead. I will keep it for them to look back on and refer to. As they get older, they can use their binders for later years to help them when putting together a portfolio or other presentation for college, jobs, or whatever they may need them for.
Chapter 14 brought us to study horses. In studying horses, I decided it was the perfect time for a field trip. Even though it was in the 20's temperature-wise, we were in the moment- We discussed the differences between horses and humans, and on cue, one of the horses decided to show how they do not use a "potty". Morgan and Jaden both thought it was hilarious, of course!

My little artists
The art easels that Jaden and Morgan received for Christmas from Jeff's family have been an exciting addition to our home school experience. As you can see, they have been letting their inner artist out of its shell!
