South Family Homeschool - 6th Grade!

 Week # 24 Rock climbing at the Rush with a friend! Bumper cars! Bowling! Arcade! Playing “Old Paint” upside down! Building ramps and turn springs for his “flipping car”.  Another ramp for his car! Before Dad came home to help with the cardboard, Daniel made a ramp out of blankets. So clever! A dancer performance on Saturday! This was a swing dance interspersed with some gymnastics Playing a new game called “Cups”! Daniel is pretty good!

  Week 23 Zookeeper Daniel! He built a reptile zoo! He even added informative pages for each exhibit! He’s been learning about the bass clef this semester in piano  Daniel turned 10!! He got the Lego set he had been dreaming of And built it in two hours Daniel got to bring a friend to get frozen yogurt And they played a giant connect four game He designed his own birthday lights for the house! And 10 candles in one piece of cake is a lot of candles! We got to have lunch with his birth mom And she showed him all of tarantulas! (All 25 of them!) This one is sooo tiny He got to pet her very large Burmese Python He also made tunnels in this giant pile of snow Daniel through the years!

  Week 22 Daniel’s 10th birthday is on Friday and he is counting down the days! Building a snow fort! Daniel’s dad shoveled all our driveway and sidewalk snow into this giant pile so he could build a fort! At his well child appnt anticipating his 10th birthday! Daniel “bought” this with 300 homeschool bucks he had saved up! Mom got a set too - so we were Lego buddies while we built! And he finished! Patch keeps growing!

  Weeks 19-21 We choose JOY! Daniel’s Christmas choir concert with three other school’s choirs too! What Daniel calls “possibly the best present Santa ever brought!” It’s a great way to stay active and burn energy and build muscles! After our “1st” Christmas at home, we headed out to Missouri to hang with family at a giant cabin for Christmas! Daniel’s gingerbread house won 3rd place! I love the gingerbread men roasting marshmallows and making s’mores by the fire! Santa brought nerf guns for “2nd” Christmas and it was fun for Daniel to use them to play with cousins! He will always find aaaallll the bugs and this one was especially creepy to mom! We set a goal to read at least one book *together* (mom reads a page, Daniel reads a page) each quarter and this is what we’re starting with! Building his Geometric Drawing Machine Tinker Crate! It makes super cool designs! This is a picture of all 30 of us at the cabin in Missouri! Crazy pants. But so much fun!
