Camp Kranz

The labor day weekend brought us the perfect opportunity and weather for  backyard camping.  We had a blast for two whole days playing outside - doing crafts, reading, listening to music, playing games - sleeping outside and enjoying out new FIRE PIT!

Anna's Volcano

 In science, Anna's class went on a virtual trip of some of the Hawaiian volcanoes and lava tubes.  Then they were encouraged to build their own volcano - you only need to ask once...:)

Virtual Academy - Week 3

 This was a FULL week! I am so impressed with these teachers - they ROCK!!!

Kate and Max were in week 2 of their full schedule with quizzes, science project, mid-unit assessments, break-out groups, geography research project,  PE and typing. They rocked it all - so proud of them!

Anna has really stepped it up.  This was the first full week of her schedule and she totally nailed it. She has her schedule down  - ELA, handwriting, math, social studies, science, small groups, specials - and is always looking for ways to maximize her time.

Alex is absolutely engaged in her live sessions. He worked on his first story with excellent details and first sentence. Alex is doing well navigating google classroom, seesaw assignments, Epic, and written work. He especially loved PE and Music this week. He finished his week with a Chrysanthemum project.

Papa Bag Star

We found these wonderful kids craft tutorials on Michael's website. Seeing this was a big project, we worked together to make one star and it turned out great.  I would highly recommend using the KwikStix paint since it dries fast and covers the bags really well!
