Each class has a different teacher with a different focus: Mr. D tends to do project-based artwork and Ms. Hickman is doing painting this semester.

Marine Biology
Today was the final day of Marine Biology class for Bree and Cate. It was a homeschool class through CU Boulder specifically for homeschoolers, and given the girls’ love for the ocean and its inhabitants, I was happy it fit into our schedule for October. They attended each Wednesday afternoon for 3 hours and they […]

Warblers
Cate: Mom, is your family’s name ‘Yergler’?Me: Yes, it is.Cate (excited): That’s the same name as a bird! Turns out she had mistaken my former last name for that of “warbler”, of which we saw two today during our field trip to Barr Lake to see their bird banding.

Space Camp

The teens worked together to design and build instruments with data tracking and launched them via two weather balloons yesterday. (They even had to get FAA permission!) Adrianna’s team was responsible for a lot of the circuitry. Today they will […]
Pastels Art Camp
The girls made clown fish art using pastels at art camp today. I think Cate got as much chalk on herself as she did on the paper.
