Jadon finished up Kindergarten in February before the Disney trip. When we came home he started First Grade! We are very proud of how hard he has worked this past year. He has grown so much! He has taken off in his reading ability; his writing has grown leaps and bounds since last year, and overall loves learning!

We decided to hold off on growing butterflies, for the Kindergarten unit, until the weather got warmer. In February our larva’s arrived! It has been so much fun watching them grow. I love this kind of learning!

Its blurring, but we got to watch two come out!  Super cool!

The kids and I were able to go skating twice this month, ice-skating and roller-skating! It was such a fun field trip and birthday party! It brings back so many memories of skating.

Our homeschool group that meets twice a month did an art gallery in March. I love the creativity and diversity in the artwork. Rahab brought a framed picture of her R people, Jadon showed off his Lego Chain Reaction, and Esther brought her Paper Mache mask. All three of them also brought their Lego creations. They did a great job presenting their artwork to their friends.

We also took a field trip to the Tacoma Musical Playhouse on March 17th to watch James and the Giant Peach.  TMP did an amazing job!  We all enjoyed the play and I can’t wait to hear what they are going to do next year!

The last news in Homeschool Happenings is Jadon read his first chapter book!  Magic School House series:  Dinosaur Before Dark
