Water slide day with CC

During our second semester at cc the kids could gather points by reciting the John 1:1-6 in English and Latin. They had to earn 100 point by the end of the year to earn a water slide day. They got 106 points!! And yesterday was that fun day!! One of the families in CC have the perfect yard for this and we all spent yesterday there! It was such a great day!

I don't remember if i mentioned before that Marlee did the memory master this year. It was all on his initiative and he did all the work himself. What is memory master you might wonder. Well, during the year all students, who do foundations (the first level of CC, which is age 4-12) is supposed to memorize a bunch of facts. More specifically it is...

• The entire timeline of 160 events from creation to modern times;
• Twenty-four sentences about history;
• Twenty-four science questions and answers;
• Multiplication tables through the fifteens plus squares and cubes, conversions, and math laws;
• Continents, countries, states, capitals, and physical features from around the world;
• Twenty-four definitions or lists from English grammar;
• Latin vocabulary lists, conjugations, declensions, and John 1:1–7 in Latin; and
• The forty-four U.S. presidents.

They can choose to recite them all at the end of the year to prove they know them all. I would never be able to do this!! Marlee has tried ones before and failed at the second level (there are three). This year he made it all the way through and passed level three last Monday!! We celebrated that yesterday :-)

Water spurt fight (see how our director got marlee good :-)

As you can see, this was a pretty awesome day!! Our both coops are now finished for this school year but we will keep going for about anot month. We have some catching up to do :-)
