Almost finished!

We are cleaning up a Unit Study this week. Even in her current state Kenzi pushed through and was able to complete a few things we missed this unit. It probably helped that it was a hands-on project reviewing something familiar. More to do today...plus running errands. I hope to complete this unit and have a celebration on Friday. My plans mean nothing, though. Next best will be to finish Monday and celebrate on Tuesday. She has to present before her dad and brothers for a final, using her 'lap board'. This is a really cool and effective tool. A compilation of small booklets and mini reports on a fold out notebook that she adds each time a new concept or theme is learned. It gives her a visual to remind her of what she can accomplish...plus it's a way to present without much talking! Her reading is improving. Even though she couldn't remember her alphabet yesterday, she was able to read some math jokes! Funny thing, she's been making jokes of her own lately. They usually wouldn't make sense but these are actually brilliant! I have to go check her room and begin school. Hopefully, a good report will follow!
