I decided to give the kids a little break from normal school to go through some assessments for the possibility of next year's curriculum. Well let me just say that I totally forgot that when you pass one assessment they give you another and another and so on. Well after 3 math tests Joshua asked to take a break. Then it was back to work on two Language Arts test and then a break. So we are not going back until next week some time. I am not too sure when but I would like this completed prior to a homeschooling conference that is the end of May. Stephen was about to take his 4th Math assessment too and then asked for a break. He completed two parts in LA too. My Abs is all done with Math. Not her best subject, rather surprised with the results. I can't wait to talk to an advisor about that. Well there were still some tests for "regular" school that needed to be completed. I was shocked at how quick the day went. In the midst of all of this we had Bill working from home as he was leaving for a Men's Retreat by 1:30p. It did put a damper on the assessment as we needed to print some items and he is in the room where the printer is. Crazy, crazy, crazy!!!
Abigail was itching to go for a walk so she could find some bugs for her new bug kit that she got at the dollar store over the weekend. Surprisingly she was a little apprehensive when we came upon a web of little caterpillars. Shocking, I know! So I did the work. I must admit I was very aware of where the others were and making sure my head was no where near the branches. I did not have my camera with me but I did take some photos using my cell phone.
This was the largest nest.
This is a second nest in the same tree.
Here is Abs trying to place caterpillar inside container.
The evening was completed with Stephen attending a youth group movie night to see Monsters vs. Aliens at the IMAX. A bit pricey but it is more fun. Unfortunately only 5 kids showed up. And only 1 other boy. He still had fun though! Thanks, Barb!!
