'15/16 Week 30

All our evenings are spent at the ballpark. It has been incredibly busy, but we are loving it. The school gets done at a normal speed. We have just a handful of weeks left, and we are already feeling that the end of the year is not far. Saara finished her Phonics workbook we have been working on since August. Andrew took another math test and did very well. My decision to slow things down in math was a good one. Andrew is doing much better; he more focused and understands better. So thankful that I can set my own pace when teaching. 

Science. Saara learning about flashing lights.

We built a small model of a lighthouse with working (flashing) light.

We spent one whole morning examining flowers, learning the different parts and their functions.

Andrew playing the bee who pollinates the flower.

We looked at the powdery pollen under the microscope.

We also looked at some algae from the pond. It had a couple of living things squirming around.

LA. Done with this book.

The Opening Day. Saara played her first game.
