May

We traveled a bit this month and were busy with lots of moving stuff, but I managed to stay motivated to do school mostly because we are learning about places that we are planning to visit on our way to visit family on our way to Hawaii in August.

We finished chapter 21 in SOTW and will stop there until fall.

We learned about Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico, Louisiana, Georgia.

Our trip to Florida was really fun. The learning highlight of the trip was going to the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. We read about Dali before the trip. It is amazing how much more interesting art is when you have a little background on the artist.

Our middle ages group when to the Crandall Historical Printing Museum for our final activity of the year. It was very fun and interesting.

In choir, the girls prepared for their Jr Seussical performance, which was last night and turned out really cute.

The final Interactive Storytelling was in May and the focus was Asian tales. Thank goodness it wasn't my turn to tell the stories.

At the end of the month went went to Grand Teton and Yellowstone, so much fun... and educational!
