For some reason, Cam had a lot of unit tests this week: Spelling, Language Arts, and Math. He scored 100s on all of them. 
I took a picture of this one (Language Arts):
100%
Since I didn’t blog this week while it was still ‘fresh’ in my mind (I usually blog on Friday afternoons), this blog won’t have a lot of back story. I’ll load it up with pictures I took throughout the week, and try to add descriptions to the photos.
We’ll start with Saturday night, when we went to the Ringling Bros & Barnum and Bailey Circus:
Heading to the circus.
The elephants.
Heritage Studies this week was pretty interesting. We were learning about the voyages of Christopher Columbus. So we made maps, and pumpkin pie squares (using spices from Asia).
Ty showing off his 'earth' representation.
Making a map of our classroom.
Tasting spices from Asia (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg)
Making the crust for Pumpkin Pie Squares.
Ty started a new theme in his “Beginnings” class (Language Arts/Reading). It’s all about oceans. His Snack of the Week this week was “Fish Bowls”. Blue jello with Swedish Fish.
Ty's "Fish Bowl"
Can you see the fish?
The frog Ty made in Math.
And finally, here are a couple of pictures of the boys’ “P.E.” class:
In the locker room...do you know which two are Cam and Ty?
The Bash Brothers
So that’s a quick look at our week. Next week will be much more interesting…we had our cousin, Kendall, spend a day with us, a field trip to the “Imaginarium”, and some cool snacks and crafts. Be sure to check back in a couple of days.
great job!!!! by the way I recorded the boys at the circus even though they just showed the back of their heads, I knew it was them and I was equally excited.
