Brett's 4th grade year was great! There was certainly a learning curve to homeschooling, but we found our groove and we are all happier! He spent about an hour and a half at the elementary school each day doing gym or STEM, reading group, speech or OT and even lunch/recess on Wednesdays. At home, we did most of our work through unit studies. We would pick a topic, like the Olympics, and do projects that incorporated math, reading, writing, science, history, and art. We had a lot of fun!
In January, we decided to try basketball through Special Olympics. It was so much fun that Brett did track next, and now he is doing golf and just started flag football! He competed in track in the Special Olympics Minnesota (SOMN) Summer Games and won 2 gold metals. I can't believe my baby is about to enter 5th grade!
