Week 33

This week, Nathan got closer to finishing his writing and art projects.  We finished our taxonomy chapters in Biology and dissected a flower.  We had a half day of school on Friday to leave me plenty of time to take care of Sam's wisdom tooth recovery!!

 

Week 32

This week was a long, rainy one!  We had our 2nd to last meeting with our supervising teacher and turned in credits and grades.  The end is in sight!  Nathan is still working on his research paper and his lighthouse project.  Otherwise, we are just keeping up with everything else.  It's been busy but I can tell we are nearing the end of many subjects!  

 

Week 31

We started this week on a Tuesday because of Easter break.  We've finished all the info about writing a research paper so Nathan will be starting to write next week!  He continued building his lighthouse and that seems to be going well.  

In other news, Samuel started his first job and Oliver got ready for rain!!  We have 6 weeks of school left!!  It's going so fast.

 

Week 30

This week of school was shorter due to Good Friday.  We'll also take Monday after Easter off to recover!  We kept up with our work and Nathan even worked ahead so he could take Thursday off, as well.  The boys still wanted to dye eggs but we tried the shaving cream and dye method this year.  It was messy but it worked well!!  Happy Easter!

 

Week 29

Back to school this week!  We had a good, quick break and started back with a visit from our supervising teacher.  We are already discussing the end of the year!!  Nathan started his research on WWI tanks, began his Donner Party reading and did the first portion of his lighthouse puzzle.  We also started our new read aloud, Lord of the Flies.  We had a full week!  We have a couple shorter weeks coming up for Good Friday and then the Monday after Easter so we'll see what we can accomplish!  
 

Week 28 Spring Break!

 This pretty much sums up our short break.  Oliver and I rested while Nathan stayed up playing games with Sam and a friend.  The weather started with a blizzard and ended with some sunny 70s so that was exciting! 

We did 2 days of school to wrap up our taxonomy lesson in Biology and to get a research paper topic narrowed down.  Nathan has picked tanks in WWI.  He also continued math lessons and rated our latest read aloud with 4.5/5 stars!  

We'll start back Monday with a visit from our supervising teacher!

Week 27

 Unfortunately, no pictures this week.  We had a full week wrapping up some things and we will finish others next week.  We have 2 more days of school before a shorter spring break.  We take off different days so we're not taking the whole week!

In biology, we started a unit on taxonomy.  It's pretty boring compared to the last few units but we'll wrap it up next week and move on!  We finished our poetry unit in literature so that was exciting.  We also finished our read aloud!  We'll probably have one more book for the year, hard to believe!!!  Nathan also started a research paper unit so he'll be brainstorming a topic next week, based on our history lessons.  

When we come back to school from break, we'll start with a visit from our supervising teacher.  Then it's a push towards the end of Nathan's sophomore year!!  Amazing!
