Weekly Wrap Up - Recovering From Sickness and Trying To Get Back on Track

 

Sunday and Monday found me recovering from a stomach bug so we didn't really get back to school until Tuesday. Luckily this Tuesday was a break from the Cooperative which meant we could catch up on some schoolwork. Grace started a new project for the art show in May. We visited the art store and found a new line of markers that are cheaper than her precious copics. She can buy three of these markers for the price of one copic. 

 

Grace spent one afternoon color sorting all her markers and colored pencils. Then two days later color coded all her clothes in the closet and hats hanging on the wall.

 

Wednesday afternoon the new bird cage arrived. This was a pic I took from the loft of them putting it together. The birds are so happy with their new bigger space. As you can see I tried to move them out to the main living area but Grace insisted on them staying in her room.

 

We got a new review product this week with Philosophy Adventure. Looking forward to really digging into this. Lots of neat writing assignments.

 

Yesterday Grace attended Speech Class, Art Class, and then off to the animal shelter to volunteer. This cat, MaryLynn really won over Grace's heart. Playing with the cats and giving them some social interaction was a lot easier than walking all the dogs last week, but she will continue to do both.

 

Another new product we are working on is Life of Fred Language Arts Series for High School age kids. We did the first chapter and Grace looked at me and said, "Are you sure this is for high school because it seems very elementary." I told her it definitely progresses.
