It’s Day 31 of the Ross School Year.
Last night I sat down and read all the articles that were submitted last year for our monthly homeschool paper. I could finally read them without the baggage associated from already reading the roughest, rougher, and rough drafts. It was good for me. I was entertained and very encouraged. So many things are like that. You have to take a step back to see things clearly.
Paige is busy these days learning German, playing piano, writing essays, reading heavy books, and dancing ballet 4 nights a week. She gets up for early morning seminary, too. Half of her classes are away from home and she is surrounded by good friends and teachers each day.
Daniel sits down to play the piano probably 4 times a day. He’s composing a piece for his piano lesson as I write. Last week he read Microbe Hunters by Karl deKruif and The Double Helix by James Watson. He’s a scientist at heart. He spends his free time creating little stop-motion Lego animation movies and training for his athletic test for Webelos. He likes Latin.
Timothy remains most interested in science and math. I love his writing and tiny illustrations. He sits down to play piano several times a day, too. He takes a weekly P.E. class and runs like a cheetah.
Mark wants to read. He wants to know how to spell everything.
That’s the school report.
