Planning for seventh grade

August 26, 2022August 26, 2022 by annieandfam

I’m back with another planning post – this time for my 13-year-old, who will be doing 7th grade.

Starting a Harry Potter fractions block with this cutie! 🪄
Getting away for five days by myself has opened up a new way of seeing things and imagining what’s possible. Today this guy and I wanted to go for a hike but nobody else did. So I left the girls to do their school work, which they managed beautifully while I was away, and he and I snuck away to look for deer prints in the mud. It’s super hard to get one-on-one time in our current season of life but this felt really good.

He got to dabble in Chinese calligraphy, made a Mongolian yurt with wool felt and a traditional Haaka dwelling from Southern China with clay. Now he and I are working on wrapping up Hebrew stories with the hope of switching to fourth grade work in mid-March. 🥰
The colors & textures of Joshua Tree. 🫶🏻
I planned a February trip to Joshua Tree National Park envisioning winter sunshine but instead I’ve been in a desert snow globe the whole trip. It’s not what I was planning on; it was way better. It’s my understanding that snow in Joshua Tree is extremely rare and to have experienced it for the past few days has been really special. ❄️
