We have been working through <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Usborne World of Animals<\/span> as a science unit but it is also reinforcing our geography studies as we learn where the animals live. For experiments we use <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Discover and Do: 2nd Grade Science Experiments.<\/span> We are also working through a book called\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Usborne Coding for Beginners Using Scratch<\/span> as an intro to coding practices.<\/p>\n<p>Ginny has fun with her extras. She has weekly piano lesson and daily practice, twice weekly karate, and Rangers on Wednesdays. She and Joel finished their first season of basketball and are looking forward to possibly trying soccer this summer. Ginny was baptized in April and a friend from Austin was able to come witness so that was special. All the kids had a campout with Rangers down by the creek and a bonfire and also received their spring awards at the end of May. All the kids also leveled up to green belt. And we had two celebrations for Ginny&#8217;s 10 birthday (with friends and with family). Lots of fun to be had this unit!<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ginny completed week 24 of her 4th grade core the first week of June.
