Hockey for a Princess?

For Whitney's 9th birthday, we took her to another ice hockey game. We haven't quite figured out why she is so fascinated by this sport, but she absolutely loves it -- blood, fighting and everything else that goes along with ice hockey! Six months ago she was entranced with ballet. It's hard to believe she gave up ballet lessons for ice hockey...

Jordann's Music

Jordann composed an original piece of music she titled "Classical Jam."

Jordann's School Desk?

Jordann told me she was struggling with her math this week and needed some extra help. She has been working on computing interest, installment buying, planning a budget, and figuring electricity rates using kilowatts. She has been covering some pretty difficult concepts lately and I've been impressed at how well she has been navigating the lessons indpendently. We have been working on her ability to decipher story problems and draw a pictorial representation for the more challenging problems. I thought I'd spend some time this afternoon helping her, but apparently she found some furry friends to consult with. I think I'm beginning to understand where the confusion is!

Happy 9th Birthday, Whitney!

Whitney celebrated her 9th birthday on March 1st. It's hard to believe that she's growing up so fast!
