There are four days left in the school year for Alden. He's ready to be done. He's excited about being in the 4th grade. Since he is in a 3-5 self contained classroom we will have the same teacher again next year. He actually went up a class a year early (grade 2) because he was the top of his old class and they had a lot of kids moving into the K-2 class. So he's had this teacher for two years now and she has been the best thing to happen to him as far as academics go.
With summer of course comes the opportunity for trips, learning outside the classroom, and doing lots of fun hobbies. So far we have two things lined up for June. We will be going to Botanical Gardens at the beginning of June and then to the High Museum. Then one weekend we will be attending Repticon to look at all the cool creepy crawly critters that they have on display. He's really excited about it so I'm sure it will be a blast.
He received A TON of science experiments for Christmas and his birthday that we have been waiting to go outside to do because they are messy and fun or just call for not being inside. I'm sure we'll do lots of crafts and painting as usual.
Today I showed him some really cool and fun educational YouTube videos and we're going to learn the following songs this summer.

I have wanted to take the time to learn The Elements Song for ages but I thought this would be a great teaching moment if we learned it together.
This one is just too cool.
I also plan to teach him the 50 states in alphabetical order song that I learned as a kid but don't know the name of.
So that's what we have going on right now. See you guys in the summer time!
