Better late than never

It's me that's 'better late than never', not the boys. We officially finished our first year of homeschooling, on June 5. We celebrated with some of our other homeschooling friends, with a party (at Grandpa and Grandma's) the following week.

I'm really proud of these guys! One by one...




WYATT

In honor and recognition of Wyatt, who has successfully completed the 5th grade. He is an exuberant learner, specializing in engineering (paper airplanes), avian biology (bird study), and PEHR (Physical Education, Health, and Recreation… Soccer). Wyatt has (with perhaps less enthusiasm) also completed 5th grade studies in: Bible, math, Science, Grammar, Logic, Ancient History, and Sign Language. Wyatt is a very analytical thinker who enjoys problem solving… and lots of fresh air!



TATE

In honor and recognition of Tate, who has successfully completed the 3rd grade. He is an inquisitive and self-motivated learner, specializing in engineering (the Lego variety), entomology and freshwater biology (bugs, and frogs and tadpoles), and Exercise and “Momentum” (Soccer). Tate has also completed 3rd grade studies in: Bible, math, Science, grammar, Logic, Ancient History, and Sign Language. Tate is a very logical and enthusiastic thinker who enjoys working toward goals… and lots of fresh air.


GUNNAR

In honor and recognition of Gunnar, who has successfully completed Kindergarten. He is a creative thinker, specializing in creating new worlds (with animals, superheroes, dinosaurs, etc), general biology (the live and the stuffed), and Large Muscle Development (Soccer). Gunnar has completed Kindergarten (and some 1st grade) studies in: Bible, math, Science, grammar, Logic, Ancient History, and Sign Language. Gunnar is a curious and quick thinker who enjoys working with “manipulatives” (toys)… and lots of fresh air.



Grandpa gave some of the kids a ride in the tractor... too bad for the families that left early! (The smaller kids were in the cab.)
