WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS
PRESTON
Preston celebrated his 15th birthday this week. We went to the zoo that day and had a great time. We spent three hours looking at animals, exploring and having a great time learning and playing together!
MARISSA
Marissa made a shadow box for her Tech class this week. It was really fun for her! She did all the wiring for it and then created different pictures she can switch out with the light.
She has also been working on diagramming sentences and working on her homophones lists as part of her assignments for her Ninja Scholar classes. It's a lot of work, but she is doing so well!
CALEB
Caleb has been working hard on his reading this week. He loves Mr Putter and Tabby books!
Caleb's favorite activity this week was building a tower around him with Keva planks and mini dominoes. It was a major accomplishment for him to hold still while the kids built around him (and his legs were so sore afterwards) but he was so proud of himself and we got an awesome video.
OTHER
PI DAY
Preston We had a great time celebrating Pi Day. We watched a couple of videos on YouTube to learn about pi, read "Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi" and then spent about an hour measuring the diameter of several different circles and then figuring out the circumference on paper. We measured with a cloth measuring tape to see if we got our calculations right and (allowing for a little error in measuring) we definitely figured out the equation. So much fun! We ate miniature pot pies for lunch, pizza pie for dinner and chocolate pie for dessert. Definitely a fun day filled with learning.
