Wrapping up the School Year

I don't do a very good job of documenting our school year, but here are some random pictures from different things throughout the year. We are so thankful for Classical Conversations - both the program and our local community. This year we learned about the Middle Ages up through modern world history, astronomy and physical science, and so much more.

Here is Claire with some of her best friends at school...

The next few pictures are from field day.

AK and her Anna.

This picture is from the last day of CC. The kids spent a few weeks building straw bridges and egg protectors. This picture shows when we gathered outside to test the egg protectors by dropping them from the top of the playground equipment, complete with a raw egg inside of each!

The next 2 pictures are from the library. Ms. Yolanda is our youth specialist at our local branch, and she is purely wonderful. From storytime to STEM experiences, she makes sure that all ages have plenty of opportunities to learn at the library.

AK sitting with Anna and her baby sister Catherine...

I believe this was from the pumpkin STEM day last fall...

This one is really random but it's from Operation Christmas Child day at our church. The toddlers and children carried the shoe boxes to the front of the church and then prayed for the children who would receive them. Owen was too cute!

These are from a field trip we took to the Rock Ranch to learn about the pond ecosystem. Here they are learning about food webs...

Gathering specimens from the pond...

And observing their finds...

And of course, playing on the huge tunnel slides.

And this one is from a Wednesday night at church. I enjoy teaching the kiddos on Wednesday nights. Anna and AK were really into this Bible story.
