The students are putting a lot of work into it. We are approaching the final weeks of the school year, and it is time to make sure all schoolwork is caught up and turned in for grades. With all of the excitement of May, we don't want to forget grades and homeschool work. I hope this month goes smoothly for all of us and that we enjoy our last days together. The end of the school year is rushing towards us like a train.
STAR testing is finished and out of the way.
In HOPE I we are starting several projects that relate to the 13 colonies. One is a giant elevation map of the colonies made with colored dough and cardboard that fits together like a puzzle and shows their exported products. In science we have some simple hands on experiments planned this week before we go to the Imaginarium for a field trip on Friday. Since we are not going to have time to finish our Saxon math book before the end of the school year, I am teaching specific lessons that feel are the most important to cover. Ben, one of our students, brought in an incredible hornet nest that he found on his property.
