The Russo's

We started on September 3, 2019.  3rd Grade  5th Grade    Filling out About Me  pages   We are doing a lot of subjects together this year and changed some curriculum. Bible is Master Books, Math is Saxon, history is America's Story, and science is Apologia. The history and science are made to do with grades 3rd-6th. We now do everything together except math and language. It's working pretty well and we can finish by 1:00 p.m. on a normal day.  They like the drawing part of history. These are Native American homes.  Doing a nature hunt in science  Hudson still covers his papers and tests Gianna likes working with money in math 

We did a last minute trip to Gulfport with the Russo family. Jennifer and Cadie called Josh and we packed some stuff and were out the door in an hour and a half. Papa came and rode with us.  The kids were so impressed by the room phone  Eating breakfast on Monday morning  They got to swim the night before and in the morning  Hudson had to check out the gym  We went to the Ocean Adventures Marine Park on Monday  First stop was the stingray pool  They swim by and you get to pet them. Stingrays are very smooth.  We got to feed parakeets in the aviary. They land on little sticks with seeds on the end. It was very fun. It's hard to get them to come back after the food was gone. Digging for shark teeth  Got to touch starfish and sharks  We watched the dolphin show twice since it was so good  The sea lion show  Gianna got wet from the dolphin!...

Nana B had a dinner and treats for back to school   Nana Angie hosted a back to school bash at her house with pizza, ice cream and lots of games She gave us all gifts and shirts for starting school  Wrapping in crepe paper contest  knocking over water bottles with a tennis ball in a stocking The adults even joined in on the games  Finding safety pins in rice is a lot harder than you think when blindfolded They had to find gummy bears in whip cream musical dress up game It was a very fun night!
