South Family Homeschool - 6th Grade!

  Week # 18 He created a menu and had us fill in what we would like for breakfast. He made us both French toast all by himself plus hot chocolate.  Daniel decided to become our waiter! Reading a new book - Diary of a Wimpy Kid - in pjs by the Christmas tree. Doesn’t get cozier than that! Our gorgeous crescent moon - we’ve all been a little extra enthralled by the moon lately.  Daniel at his Parent Day - playing and and singing the Christmas song he learned this term! Daniel had his smaller Christmas choir concert today! He will have a big one, combined with two other schools, on Monday.  The whole choir!

Week 17   This week we were extra grateful for the chance to school at home because we got to go on an extremely last minute trip to Las Vegas! Daniel’s dad has been doing some consulting work for David Copperfield and we got to hang backstage with him before his show that he gave us front row, meet and greet tickets to! And we also got to see For King & Country in concert again while we were there, plus visit the pinball hall of fame. We love that we can mobilize and learn anywhere! PS Daniel says he’d rather live in a gingerbread house than an igloo! He really really doesn’t like to be cold!

 Weeks #15 & 16 Snake in your pocket?? Making candy turkeys for Thanksgiving  Daniel’s amazing turkey! A *very* early morning flight to CA First ice cream cone of the cruise Front row of the giant roller coaster! Classy crème brûlée! A little piano performance while on board! He’s rocking it  A cruise pillow fort! His favorite nativity at our community crèche event For King & Country concert! We volunteered for Compassion International there and helped 275 kids get sponsored - Daniel was amazing! Decorating with family, including Daniel’s birth mom Daniel being our very own little drummer boy Another concert - he played this song blindfolded! 😂 Group picture with Aunt Bonnie at SeaWorld! Daniel is a fish and did SO MUCH swimming! Mini golf! Craft project - he painted a turtle! Is he pointing at the shark or the giant fish?? Both are amazing! We had two weeks full of fun! We did manage to sneak school in though, it just wasn’t as fun to take pictures of that, lol....

  Week 14 Daniel’s Aunt Bonnie came into town to cheer for Oklahoma! The mascots were super excited about this picture, lol.  It was cold, wet day but we were so close to that win! Daniel loves to cheer for our BYU Cougars! It took so much concentration to finally get the drone through all the obstacles he set up! Daniel swiping our “tickets” for the drone show! This week got away from me picture-wise! But Daniel did math - he’s learning to recognize patterns right now - and social studies - he’s learning about New York City right. now! - and Night Zookeeper - plus we are reading Rise of the Wyrm Lord together right now - he finally conquered the drone obstacle course he set up for us which he gave us tickets and assigned seats and treat buckets for, lol - and he is practicing for his piano recitals and choir recitals! It was a busy week with very few pictures, lol. 

 Week 13 Working on his math! Earning money by assembling magic wands for our company! Daniel created an elaborate obstacle course for his drone This is Daniel’s snake on feeding day! We’ve moved him up to a full size mouse.  It’s crazy to see how those stripes on his neck stretch out sooo much once he’s gotten the mouse in! Rocking the rock wall! This is 65 lbs!! Daniel was so proud of himself.  One of our favorite things to do at the BYU football games is to listen to the drum line perform before the game starts! Recovery is going well! We are slowly easing back into our normal schedule, but we have been able to make progress in every subject this week, even if we’ve been a bit slow!

  Week 12 A black cat always brings donuts on Halloween morning! Daniel getting into his ninja-ness We are a: - Teenaged mutant - Ninja - Turtle Daniel at his Moana play practice The cover of Daniel’s bug report! The body of his report A map, showing where to find the bug 2nd draft First draft Building a water fountain! He did this all by himself - and loved it! I am recovering well and planning on a more normal week next week!
