Melissa hard at work.


Amanda, now a mature twelve-year-old, shows off her beautiful braces.



I'm not sure Donna or I realized what a treasure it would be to have Claire in our group. She is a scientist who has the ability to explain in simple terms making the complex understandable, a teacher who illuminates our subjects and encourages our children to learn and an incredible mom.



Diane learning the hand motions to the Veritas cards too!


Claire teaches us the handmotions to our Veritas cards each week. Thank you Claire.







We studied el Greco today. Noah's picture is the opposite of him! The picture has a front tooth.


Brian is very proud of his work. Great job Brian!




Our Kindergarten class looks at pictures of the Abyssal level of ocean.


Ethan showing his class his favorite book! Star Wars!



Beatrice's sister made her a paper camera. Bea let us feel it and explained that the softness was from the paper towel inside.





Boaz, still in his bandanna from his award winning Clementine presentation.

Jack and Boaz discovered GOLD at Sutter's Mill!


Is he not the most beautiful baby you've ever seen? Caleb Henry the Magnificent.




Melissa, Jack and Boaz were helped by Joel, Daniel, Caleb and Isaac today. They sang and acted out Oh My Darling Clementine while explaining the Gold Rush of 1849.

In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner forty niner,
And his daughter Clementine

Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Light she was and like a fairy,
And her shoes were number nine,
Herring boxes, without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.

Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Drove she ducklings to the water
Ev'ry morning just at nine,
Hit her foot against a splinter,
Fell into the foaming brine.

Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine




Ruby lips above the water,
Blowing bubbles, soft and fine,
But, alas, I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine.

Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

How I missed her! How I missed her,
How I missed my Clementine,
But I kissed her little sister,
I forgot my Clementine.

Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine


Cark!


Anna!
