WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS

PRESTON

Preston had a presentation in his Key of Liberty class.  It was on the 1st and 2nd Continental Congress.  He did a great job!  He also created a stop motion video to show the class at the end of his presentation.  It was awesome!  

MARISSA

Marissa had a great week!  She created a screen printed bag from a Doodle Crate.  She drew a picture of grandma when grandma came to help with some language arts and math one day.  She also learned several magic tricks to perform for the family.  She loves learning and is getting so much out of her classes and her individual work at home.  

Marissa also finished reading Benjamin Rush for her book discussion.  She loved the book and took so many notes.  It's so much fun watching her learn and grow! 

CALEB

Caleb is working hard on reading.  He has been reading stories from the "Big Red Book of Beginner Books" and is doing such a great job.  He's also working on All About Reading Level 2 and working very slowly through a new handwriting curriculum.  

Caleb has also been learning about doing hard things.  He got to demonstrate this by running and jumping over a chair during class this week.  It is great watching him stretch and grow with a few peers.  

OTHER

FORT BUENAVENTURA

Marissa and Caleb both got to go on an amazing field trip to Fort Buenaventura this week.  They heard from real mountain men who live off the land, make their own tools, sleep on straw beds, and know all sorts of stories and facts about where sayings and other cultural things originated.  Marissa could not stop talking about it and decided to document it in a paper she typed up.  She did a great job!
