Well this week N. finished up RTR. It has been a fantastic year. I have seen growth in his reading abilities and in his writing abilities. It has been a fascinating time period to study. I love that he learned so much about church history. I haven't updated in a few weeks so here are some pictures from the past 2 weeks.
He made a bag like the Lenape Indians used. He realized that he missed one detail of the directions and went back and corrected it. He has done this a few times and I love that it teaches him to pay closer attention without me really having to say much.
Here is his flap book that took a few weeks. It has key verses to understanding salvation.
One of his favorite things each week has been to write his research postcard. He writes to a dog out at the animal shelter we volunteer at. He always picks his favorite and adds a line at the end about hoping they get adopted. He says he wants to continue to do this during the summer. One area that has also really improved is how careful he is now with his timeline.
The final history project was making Amish Sugar Cookies. He is becoming quite the cook thanks to HOD.
For his last science experiment he made a glider and had to experiment with how much weight to add to the nose and also making sure the wings were rounded on top. This demonstrated Bernouilli's Principle. This experiment was a huge hit.
Finally here is the official "so sad I am done with this guide" picture.
It is always sad to end a guide, but I have already read over half of the books for Revival to Revolution, which is the next guide, and it also is fantastic. He does still have to finish up 5 lessons in math and take his annual testing required by the state, but then it is on to summer.
