Week 24 Review -- April 5-11

This was a slow week here at Fawkes Academy. It was our standardized testing week. Everett and Annika managed to get there Iowa Test of Basic Skills completed in 3 days and we sent them off for scoring today. Hopefully within about 6 weeks we'll get the results back. I think that they both did well and expect great scores again this year. Other than that I've been battling a cold so we've just hung around the house and enjoyed the fairly decent weather we've been having. This weekend we'll bake some spring cookies and enjoy the time together. Annika already has the Veggietales Easter Carol all set and ready to go for Sunday.

Our Painted Lady butterflies also hatched last weekend and early this week. We kept them for about 5 days and then released them yesterday. It was fun as the kids got a few of them to sit on their hands before they flew away. Annika's really seemed to like her, it sat on her hand for about 4 minutes before it flew off. Here's a few pictures of that.



We also got the last of curriculum we'll be using next school year. I'm going to work on getting things unpacked, labeled and pictures taken so that I can post something about it here later in this weekend or next week.

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter.
