summer school

We are almost through week #2 of summer school. This week the kids all decided to work solo. It is fun to see how each one finds information and then creates their own project to show what they have learned. Last week Madison and Elijah "traveled" to Hawaii, and Isaiah and Amaris "traveled" to California. We also work on math and writing. The kids all have set fantastic reading goals for the summer reading program up at our school.
This week Isaiah is going to South Carolina, Elijah is going to Florida he plans on camping with Mickey Mouse, in his searching he found an actual camp ground that features Disney characters and tons of fun activities planned all week long. (I would love to go there for 'real'!) Amaris is going to Louisiana, and Madison is going to Alabama. We have all the projects on display in the play room. I hope to "visit as many of the states as we can this summer.
We also have created our own countries complete with Flag, motto, location, shape of land form, people who live there, customs and festivals, country president, (Pastor Lori we have a new title for you, Madison has elected you to be president of her country!) they each even wrote their countries song! How fun!!

You amaze me with your energy. Most moms just ship the kids outside during summer days but you help them learn and keep them busy! That was an official endorsement from President-Pastor Lori! Yowza...never thought I'd be the prez! Sweet.
