Last week of Rev to Rev

We finished Rev to Rev this week.  I asked N. what he thought of the year and how the guide ranked among the other guides he has done. He said it was one of his favorite guides.  The only book he struggled with was The Growth of the British Empire, he said that was his least favorite book of the year.  It is a more challenging book with more challenging vocabulary, so it doesn't surprise me that it wasn't his favorite.  He loved everything else. 

His last project of the year was a salt dough map of the British Empire.  I helped him out by writing the labels since he just can't write that small, but he did everything else.




 He was very excited about some of his last written narrations that he did in his Inventors notebook.  He thought it was great that it was so big he had to fold it in half for it to fit.  He made sure to show his dad this one when he was doing his end of the year show and tell.
He also loved putting together the Composer study lap book.  It gave him quite the sense of accomplishment.  He even had to show his sister all of it.



I think my favorite Storytime book was the one we did last and that was "George Washington Carver".  What an amazing man of faith. N. really enjoyed it also.

It was a good year.  I can look back and see growth.  It is hard if I compare him to other dc his age, but God is teaching me to not play the comparison game and just rejoice in N. and his accomplishments.  We have a tradition that at the end of each guide I take a picture of how he feels about ending the guide/school year.  Here is this years picture.
