We Bought a Farm: A Bit of Culture

Each of our students is studying a country right now as we get back underway in January. The Kotynski kids are studying Bolivia as they just got back from a wonderful vacation to see family and the place that Aunt Hannah was born. 

Abigail is studying Germany -- the country which she was born in.
Hannah is studying the Azores -- the first home she ever had.
Sidge is studying Turkey -- his home from ages 2-4. 
Isaac chose Canada -- a pretty random decision I think.

Each student has to complete about 20 different assignments related to their country. This includes writing papers, reading books, discussing currency, and even cooking a meal! Today Abigail (with the help of Grama) cooked German pancakes!

That wasn't the only taste of culture we got! Tijmen sent us a package from the Netherlands. What a fantastic surprise! I got a Delft plate (my favorite!!!!) and the kids got key chains. We also got some stroop waffles! So, so fun!!!
