Last days of SMCA

Here are some pictures from our last few days of school. We had a great year together studying Botany and ancient world history.

Here we are making the cover for our SMCA time capsule. Some of our original SMCA students are moving to Cancun next year. I thought a time capsule would be a great way to end our time together. Each student filled a ziplock bag with momentos, pictures, and letters to themselves in 10 years. Together we put the time capsule in the ground and covered it with this mosaic. We all decided we would meet back in 10 years to open it together!!! (notice my wonderful boyfriend helping with the art project. He also was the one who finished the time capsule, along with many other projects I start and then don't know how to finish ... what would I do without you Cheque???)

Here we are on a Botany fieldtrip. My 4 students and myself went to a local park with a stream to have a picnic lunch and look for plants! It was really fun.

Botany scavenger hunt!

My very studious students studying a plant for a nature journaling project.

Josh with his pastry booth at Ancient Roman Market Day. At the end of the unit each student created goods that would have been sold in Ancient Rome for our market. It was a huge success :)

Ben the money changer.

All of us Ancient Romans!!!
