Last Week of School

Our last week of school!

We finished up science projects:

We had 8th grade graduation:

 Nathan got a certificate for finishing his math book:

We learned about the Oregon Trail and played a game.  Hunter easily won twice so I guess he's prepared.  :)

All the kids got a book for summer reading and Nathan read his right away.  This picture is taken at our pizza celebration picnic!

Lily wrote a poem about summer.  I'll type it up at the bottom because it's kind of hard to read.

In other news, Nathan got 1st place in district races this weekend!!  Woo hoo!

Summer by Lily Kreger

Summer is...

Delicious, freezing ice cream that gives you brain freeze

Scorching, fiery concrete that burns your feet

Serene, untameable pools to swim in

Fantastic floaty forms that are magnificent

Bright, golden warmth of the sun

Summer is...

People getting painful sunburns while getting a bronze tan

People belting out songs in gorgeous swimsuits

I thought she did great using a poem model we had studied earlier and making it her own.  :)  That's the end of the school year!  My goal is for the boys to continue reading lessons and Lily to continue her math lessons throughout the summer but we'll see how that goes.  Lily will read without encouragement so no problem there!  Happy Summer!
