Family Schooling Summary: Class Fair, Visiting Great Grandpa, and Aunt L's Funeral

This variety of monkey is frequently found climbing trees in my yard. 



We had the class fair exhibits for co-op school this week. All the classes and students are allowed to display projects that they have been working on.  M & S participated in a puppet show... sort of. 
 M played a guitar solo of his scales.
 Big Sis A played the Beatles "Love Me Do" on her guitar.
Here is the display that I made to illustrate some of the things we talked about in my preschool science class. 
 A & M took a cool class called "Mysteries of the Unseen World".  They used microscopes, telescopes, and learned that visible light is only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
 Their class did a skit to illustrate the electromagnetic spectrum.
 A also took a class called "See how they run" about elections.  As part of the class she wrote a letter to our state senator.  She requested sidewalks along our road AND received a kind letter in response. Such a great way to learn about how democracy works.

We spent Tuesday-Thursday in New Jersey attending my aunt's viewing and funeral.  We had some additional lessons on electro magnetism from my grandpa.
 He is an inventor and has about 70 + patents on all kinds of cool gadgets. He is the most amazing person to talk to. He always seems to know how things work, or could work.



 Here we are at the viewing.
 This is how the kids entertained themselves during that event.
The funeral was nice. I don't have any pictures from that event.  The kids sang "I am a child of God" and Grandpa said that it was his favorite part and the only time that he cried. Aunt C did the eulogy and a lot of Aunt L's friends shared funny stories and memories of her. I said the closing prayer.
