Finally Friday

That's pretty much how I feel about this week.  It's been busy.   Things are winding down for E so I'm busy double checking his courses to make sure he is getting everything caught up for the year.  He's in no danger of not making the 920 hours requirement for the year but I also want him to finish all of his courses.
I let the girls unschool for the week because it's becoming a strain on my emotions to constantly tell them to do their work.   So, this week I gave them some flexibility and let them enjoy some of the lesson samples from K12.  They really enjoyed them and makes me look forward to the next school year.

"Dr. Bones" science game


E had a busy week of "test prep" sessions with his teachers and offline.  His brain is surely on overload so we were more than happy to take some time today and go have an unplanned recess with other students and parents.  It was nice to be out in the sun (and wind) watching him run and play.  He really needed it and totally enjoyed his recess.  He even played a little volleyball for the first time.  I didn't take pics 'cause I was too busy running my mouth.  Oh, he even met a therapy dog and learned a little about their jobs.  *thumbs up for supplemental learning hours - social studies, health & P.E.

The girls had their share of running and playing outside too.


It was a good week, full of learning and play.  Next week... state testing!
