2012-2013 Wrap Up

What an incredible year we had studying the ancients surrounding the old testament.  Lance in particular really enjoyed studying the Egyptians.  As my first time creating a history curricula, I would say it was a big success.  Another change was trying out the note-booking method with our Astronomy Curricula; that too was a big success and something we will take further in the coming year.  A final big change was having the Lance and Jared take a nationally standardized test in addition to our normal evaluations.  I was very pleased to see that they achieved top scores in Math and Reading Comprehension and scored average or above in all other subjects.  I cannot say I was surprised at the results, but it was a nice confirmation that their strengths and weaknesses lie exactly where I thought.  This knowledge gives me comfort that I am on target with what I thought was going well and what I think needs more concentration in the coming year.

In addition to ending our school year, May also brought our baseball season to an end.  Lance and Matthew played together on the Minor (10 & under) Rays.  As is their nature they had a great time; win or lose. Matthew plays first base and also pitches. Lance mostly plays catcher and they are both playing very well.

Titus is also looking forward to his future in baseball as a catcher.
