Curiosity Sloth Life

James
I went to the Museum of Natural Curiosity.


The sloth hang, I hung upside down for 111 seconds. My next try I got 130 seconds. My little brother then tried it and hung right side up and beat me. He got over 420 seconds.
Kaelyn
In dance class, my group and I created a warm up dance. Basically we all do 2 cartwheels. We do a trust fall. Our song is How Do I Say Goodbye. We fall on "Goodbye" and push ourselves back up on "Life." Then we do this arm stretch sticking our elbows out to each side. We all switch sides.
Luke
I was so strong that I got 420+ seconds/7 minutes! on the Sloth Hang. It wasn't very hard. It hurt my back a little. I beat my older brother! My brother only got a little over 2 minutes. I beat my first time too.


I also went to splash pad to cool down after basketball practice. I got really wet, but had lots of fun. I love basketball!

Back to Homeschool 2023/2024

First Day of School we decided to do a day earlier than planned since James and Kaelyn had "practice"days at the middle and high schools for 7th grade and 9th grade.

Kaelyn is excited to do split enrollment this year. Since we use My Tech High for funding for our homeschool, 7th grade and above can do split enrollment where they can take up to 2 classes at their local school.

Kaelyn is doing College & Career Awareness and Dance.

James is doing Seminary (doesn't count for a MTH class) and Science. He was hoping to do another class but it was hard to get a class he wanted for the time he needed.

This is Luke's first year with Kindergarten!
This year is pretty unique where I can say I have an elementary schooler, a middle schooler, and a high schooler!
