Offically done with curriculum !

This past week has been an intense week of "tying up loose ends." Shayna finished her Nathan Hale project for the living wax museum, her lapbook and the contents, her unit study on decimals (math), a review book on the Ameican Revolution that I got her in Philadelphia, the last chapter of Story of our World ...... Yesterday, around lunchtime, she was "officially done" with the "school work" she needed to complete this year ! Yahooo ! What a great feeling !

To celebrate, I told her she could sleep late today ! As a family, we do all wake up to see Don (my husband) off to work every day ! He usually leaves around 7:30 - 8:00 so this isn't bad. It is a good ritual also, because it gets Shayna off to a good start. She hates not saying goodbye to dad in the morning.

So - what are we going to do in the next few weeks.

1. Pack for Emerson. I began this earlier this week. Shayna is ALMOST packed up. Name tags are almost on everything. I need to make a "list" for her and get it all together. Pack for Shayna to go to Grandma Mary and George's House. Shayna needs a 2nd bag, since she is spending a week with Grandma Mary and George before Emerson begins. (when I am in Tulsa at Usborne National Convention)

2. Field Trips ! We have 3 field trips scheduled to go on. This will be awesome fun !

3. Author's Party & Living Wax Musuem - we are having our culiminating activities for both these groups in the next 2 weeks.

4. PLAYING, PLAYING and more PLAYING ! Although we play all the time "while doing school" and in "daily life" I am sure that Shayna will create new ideas, things and games to play !

I am sure the next 2 weeks will fly by ! I can't imagine now how I will have enough time to pull everything together...but I will !

It feels so good to "officially" be done with her "fourth grade school year" !
