HISTORY (WORLD GEOGRAPHY)

Preston, Marissa & Caleb:

We learned about Italy this week in World Geography.  We watched a YouTube video about Italy and also learned a little bit about Ancient Rome.  We read a really cute book called Gabriella's Song that was set in the city of Venice.  We had a lot of fun practicing our Italian words and had a delicious spaghetti lunch.  

TECH (BUILDING & ENGINEERING)

Preston:

Preston's birthday was Friday.  He received several Lego sets from friends and family for his birthday.  He completed one of these for building and engineering this week and can't wait to build more.  

Marissa:

Marissa decided to build with blocks this week.  She created an entire city for her small dolls.  Apparently I never took a picture of the final creation with Marissa, but I did manage to snap a picture of the creation as it was being assembled (as Caleb slid into the background for an impressive photobombing moment). ;P

Caleb:

Caleb built his own Lego set this week as well.  It was the first time he completed a set following the instructions and he did it without help.  We stood over him to make sure he understood, but he was a pro and completed it without any problem.  

OPTIONAL (PE)

Preston:

Preston had his belt test for karate this week and did awesome.  He also had his belt ceremony, which was so cool!  He is now officially a yellow belt.   

Marissa:

Marissa attended her tumbling class this week.  She also got to practice tumbling moves with her favorite cheerleader at Weber State University.  Her friend, Katie, picked her up to snap a picture with her at the game and Waldo snuck up behind them and picked them both up.  She had a blast! 

  

Caleb:

Caleb had his belt test for karate this week.  He did great and is now a yellow belt (in the mini ninja class - it's a yellow belt with a white stripe).
