Croquettes, Valencia and Bilbao....SPANISH I

We have started the adventure of Spanish I together!! We are really enjoying it and look forward to it each day. Now, if I can figure out how to do the accent marks in Spanish on my computer. :)
Kendra had to choose two Spanish speaking places she would like to visit and chose Valencia (FYI: there's an incredible looking island about 79 km off the coast of Valencia that is AmAzInG looking called Ibiza...seriously beautiful...Mediterranean Sea...Ahhh...google it...you won't be disappointed!) because it just looked awesome. She also chose Bilbao...cool pictures, but don't know much about it yet. We will have to explore further. 
As far as Croquettes go, we will be attempting to make some Tapas or Croquettes together next week...pictures to follow. :) 
We found this great YouTube video describing in detail how to make them. Yummy! Can't wait!! 

Now, (insert upside down question mark)Hasta manana!

New Year

From Kim: (Keni's post later (-:  ) Wow. I never expected to be homeschooling this year, but here we are. We looked at several options and decided that BJU Press Online was a good fit for Kendra. That said, it is always a bit overwhelming to view the Lesson Plans and see everything we need to get through in the next 9 or 10 months. Seriously, those books are huge!! :-O
I am excited to see how God will grow both of us this year as we embark on this new homeschooling adventure for the LAST year before high school. When did that happen?? *insert sad face*
Today we had our own little mini-orientation and Kendra wanted to try a science experiment so I've attached the video of the one we tried. Let us know if you try it. I will also attach the video that we used to learn the WHY of the effect. Enjoy!
