Meet George. George prefers his history accurate, animals obscure, and costumes ornate. He has a wide streak of humor, a deep love of family, and a strong affinity for purple. He also has Tourette syndrome (primary: gross motor) and OCD. At the start of fourth grade we began exploring his love of learning at home. This website serves as an occasional showcase of what we cover. Thoughtful recommendations and reflections welcome.

Des Fleurs
Today's highlight was a unit on flower anatomy and pollination, followed by the examination of two buds from our magnolia tree.
To check his comprehension, I had George complete the worksheets from here, and I was beyond pleased that the only help he needed was with reducing the fractions. He was able to change fractions into percentages fluidly, as well as complete the pie chart accurately without even a prompt to note that each wedge was 5%. (Math is the main academic area in which he continues to struggle.)
