Robin took the CAT test this week, as required by law. Because he is not a confident reader yet, we asked his proctor to read the test to him, but he did the work of selecting the answers. In most areas he did very, very well. However, he doesn't have a good grasp of spelling or other language mechanics yet, which was reflected in his scores. I read to him: Grandma Elephant's in Charge by Martin Jenkins


You Can Count on Monsters by Richard Evan Schwartz


Katie And The Sunflowers by James Mayhew


Music for the End of Time by Jennifer Fisher Bryant


We listened to the music described in the last book. He went swimming and exercised.

Robin attended his MAHC classes: Battle Re-Enactment, Improv, and Board Games. He finished working with Life of Fred for the year, as well as with his English workbooks until July! We went to the library. I read to him: Planting the Trees of Kenya: The Story of Wangari Maathai by Claire A. Nivola

A Visit to Dr. Duck by Rosemary Wells


Robin went camping and enjoyed lots of hiking, campfires, good food, and good friends!
