Grading During P.E.
(But most sessions I get some great mom time!

Some days he would love to surprise me with how much he got done before I checked in.

Prepping for frog dissection.

Lorelei has several books she is reading as part of her English curriculum. Pollyanna was one of the books on the booklist and she put together a book report and presented it to us. Of course, we had to watch the movie as well! Was so great to see it again after so many years!

History Report on The Dust Bowl

Working on reading from a coffee shop while Lorelei volunteered at ManeGait...he had a few books he didn't enjoy this year (including the one pictured) but also some winners. :)

History Slide Show

Lorelei was elated to see a newborn foal approximately 12 hours old! How sweet of him to decide to make his arrival wee morning hours the day of her animal behavior class! :)

P. E. class was definitely a highlight of each week for Makin!

Final Project for Art History

Animal Behavior - what a delight this class was for our girl!!!
The final class they showed us what they had trained the mini mules.

Final Science project - Rube Goldberg Machine

Final History Project - brochure for a city in Texas.

Final Reading Project

Getting organized to wrap up her FRESHMAN YEAR.
(What in the world?!)

Kind of a strange picture to end this post but I wanted to capture this aspect of her English I.
She listens to an audio recording and then writes out those dictated sentences. Then I grade for spelling and punctuation. She does this three times throughout her packet and then gets a final grade at the end. Loved this way to continue spelling in the upper grades!
