School for us starts the middle of August. It's kinda soon for me, but I'm thankful come the end of April when we can be done for the summer!
The girls love Classical Conversations. They are both in the Foundations program in the morning and soak up a ton of information, it still surprises me how much their little brains take in! Kiley is in Essentials this year in the afternoon, so she has a writing assignment each week that she presents to the class (as well as grammar). She has been really creative in her presentation. This week her paper was on ziggurats. She put it on weathered and crumpled paper she painted with yellow and brown paints and tore the edges to make it look old. Then she put hieroglyphics on it. The next week, her assignment was on The Great Flood. This one she nailed to a plank!
Ashlyn gave a presentation on her favorite book, Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy. Of course she had to dress up in her Ladybug Girl costume. She even has a ladybug backpack so the outfit was complete. She did a great job presenting her book and retelling the story page by page. The kids were really engaged and I've even heard one of the boys call her ladybug girls since then.

No way!!! Your blogging again!!!! Miss you sweet friend!
I need some Keepers advice- please take some photos and let me see what you all do. It is going well, except that I have to really pull in people to teach a class- (and nobody wants to do the devotion, so that is on me ever time)I need more ideas on what I can teach and how to do it- just want a different perspective- please...pretty please!
