Today we added an expansion to the fairy garden in the butterfly garden out front. We are adding more shells, rocks, sticks and treasures. The fairies love our garden!

 

Mom was busy working on some house projects and E and I raided the dress up bins. Our house in quite insane!

 

We will call this “BOYS NIGHT OUT”. We picked up my friend, L, and headed to the Pinellas Park Preforming Arts Center. This year I did not preform but did enter the photo contest. Between acts they played lots of songs I knew and I just couldn’t help but dance.

The blurs are myself and my two friends G & L.

 

 

We had a great time watching all the talented 4H kids. Next year I am thinking of doing a musical skit. I have time to work on it but my mind is already rocking and rolling!

 

We found out about a program supported by the NWF called Butterfly Heros. You pledge to help the monarch population. They send you seeds to play for host and neutering plants.

I picked two more FLVS classes to take before our break. Sixth grade world history and seventh grade science. I only took the first semester in both classes and will make the second semester later this summer. I loved watching the videos and even Emmerson joined in.

The collaborative projects made my head hurt. I am much younger than most of the students in the classes but was amazed how some of them were rude, didn’t understand simple directions and just kept interrupting during the live lessons.

I had lots of projects for both classes. One of my favorites was building a model of the layers of the earth. I worked really hard on the project.

For history I had to make a special purpose of the Inca Empire. I had to do lots of research and then draw, color and label the map.

 

I finished the science class in 3 weeks versus the 18 allotted. I got an A! The history class took 4 weeks and I got an A in that as well. I am really enjoying blasting through these classes in a single focus. I am also learning that tests aren’t that hard if i take good notes and study!
