Hunter had his piano recital earlier this week. I am having some technical difficulties uploading the video, so you will need to view his recital by clicking here. I hope you enjoy it. Hunter did a 3 movement piece which took a lot of time and hard work to learn. We are now finished with piano lessons until Fall.

We've finished third grade math!

In spite of illness, we had our last Math 3 lesson today and will now only be doing review. We made it to Hunter's last Wednesday night program at church last night - but he was not feeling well. Please keep him in your prayers as we have missed some piano lessons with this cold and he has a recital coming up on Tuesday. The poor kid can't play three notes without having to stop and blow his nose!

Hunter's big solo took place on Sunday night at church. You can watch the performance in the video below. He did a great job! Hunter was happy he was able to wear his swimsuit to the performance - the theme was "Under God's Sea".
Next Tuesday is his big piano recital. He has a VERY hard piece, so please keep him in your prayers as he tries to get this piece down.



Hunter is happy to be done with Stanford testing; although he enjoyed the social aspects of it. 
 
We are working on finishing up school. Only 4 more weeks until we leave for summer vacation!!  Hunter finished his typing lessons. We have two more math lessons and will finish Bible on Easter! We have 10 more lessons of Spelling to finish up. This should take us about three weeks. We will be doing grammar and history up until we leave for vacation. We will probably have to finish our last history book while we are traveling. We have one more science unit left which is a review of everything we've learned this year. We should be able to get through it in 2-3 weeks. Hunter is also working on a story he wrote. He is going to type it on the computer to keep his keyboarding skills up. Hunter already started 4th grade cursive, so we will keep doing cursive lessons twice a week, but will take a break for vacation.

Last night we attended a Pack meeting for the local homeschool boy scout pack. We had a wonderful time meeting everyone. Hunter will attend the last couple meetings as a Bear and then will start back in the Fall as a Webelo. He is so excited to get back into scouting - and the pack is wonderful.

Please take some time to pray for Hunter this week as he has his standardized testing. He will be testing every day this week from 8am thru 11am. Please pray for clarity, calm and recall. We are only doing history this week as he goes through testing and will start back to our school schedule next week.
