The school year is wrapping up for the girls. This year they both got to go to Idaho Arts Charter School. Katlyn was in the orchestra, they both had dance classes, art and drama. Of course they had the other, not so fun classes like math, science etc.. But they seem to have really done well this year. I am so proud of how hard they work and all that they have learned. I really feel that this school has been a blessing for them both.
Katlyn's orchestra had their final concert in the park in Nampa. It was a nice out door amphitheater. They played a few songs and it was a beautiful evening. The week after that Katlyn's class did a class play as a project for the 13 Colonies. They did a real cute skit and lots of songs and dancing.
MacKinzie's 1st grade class "went on a trip to South Africa". They learned about the country they would be traveling to, got their required "7 shots" and "passports".
This was such a fun project for the kids! Each kid was then assigned a region of South Africa and did a report on that region. MacKinzie did a book on Namibia. Last night they had a "museum" setup with all the 1st and 2nd graders' projects in the multipurpose room. Then we went out on the lawn and the kids sang about 5 songs with the South Africa theme. It was a lot of fun! The girls are so lucky to being going to a small school in a large town with talented teachers!
Hey! This is Marc Weedop. We are thinking about going to that CJ strike camping place here in about a week. You guys should come! Think we will bring the ATV's too.
