Spring School

This year in school we added a new student (Brooks) and added a few new subjects (Art, History and Science).  Basically Phonics/Reading/Spelling/Writing and Math are still one-on-one and Art, History and Science are done all together.  The kids learned so much and I can assure you I did too!
 

In addition to those daily activities, we also did several field trips.  Here are highlights from a few:
