Christmas Musical Concert
Tonight our music class for school performed a concert. The group performed 2 songs with hand bells and some of the children performed individual or group songs.
Isaac performed Angels We Have Heard on High…
Bekah and Loreena performed Stille Nacht
Bekah and Isaac performed a Christmas Melody
It was a perfect night. I sometimes complain that there are so many young children in the group, but tonight I was reminded why I always want to have this extra class that fits with the school year =)

Our New School Year
Can you guess by this Picture what we are studying this year?
Do these help?
Okay… How about this one?
Getting Closer?
Now it should be obvious since this is our mind map for the year! =)
We are studying Art and Music as we search for Truth, Goodness, and Beauty with the Scarlet Pimpernel. We are all loving this year. I was a bit skeptical, but now I know I was wrong =)

Closing Day
While I still have pictures to post of our school year, here are some great pictures from our last day.
Warren had to work, but he showed up just in time to see the children knighted and then help clean up =)

Must Brag
Well, I guess it is not a must, but I really want to. There is so much to share, but today I want to brag about Isaac. Last month Isaac took a computer test for the charter school. He did reading first and scored a 9.9+ meaning, higher than a 9th grade 9th month level. then he scored a 5th or 6th grade math level (I don’t remember the month). He got stuck on the question ‘6ab + a + b =’ where ‘x=2 and y=3’. so, of course he asked how to do that when he got home and I verbally taught him in about 2 minutes and we haven't talked about it since! Unfortunately, Isaac took the test 3 days before the window for taking the test, so he had to test again today. So of course I expected him to do slightly better in math since I had told him how to do the hard question. So, Isaac wanted to do Math first this time… 45 minutes later he finished! He asked to do the reading tomorrow, but unfortunately that wasn’t an option. He finished reading 20 minutes later. Of course I knew his reading score couldn’t have been as high since he finished so quickly. Well, I was right on both subjects, sort of. Isaac scored a 6.5 in reading (middle of 6th grade reading level) and a 9.2 or something in math. I guess the quick lesson from a month ago stuck! Since we shouldn’t ever be proud, I will say that I am well please with Isaac’s test taking skills and all of his hard work!
