Grade: 13/19
And guess what? Anna-Lee could now figure out what percent that is!!!
And you know, the beauty of homeschooling is we spent time on what we needed to, and we were flexible enough to add things that weren't even on the list.
Things like:
- learning discernment by analyzing lyrics to songs alongside Scripture
- going to Toronto to help Grandma and Grandpa move
- Finishing up elementary Spanish as her second language choice
- Doing her Grade 4 RCM clarinet exam
- Science - discussion of creation vs evolution, and a curriculum looking at the physics of air and water and the biology of soil, rock, and plants.
- writing through blogging
- Grade 6 Russian ballet exam
- learning to play basketball
- Public speaking - about our trip to Israel to our church congregation, and about a Scriptural painting she was involved in to our church congregation.
