April-May Recap, June Activities
Raven Homeschool, Delta Junction
May 2021
April was interesting with outdoor activities planned and changeable weather! It was still too snowy and cold for Recess at the Park. The Rocket activity turned into a Bubble activity as the wind was too strong for the rockets to fly right! But we did get to spend some time together.
Heidi read a couple of Spring Stories and students read some of their favorite stories during the Story Time. Students picked up kits and joined Ms. Katya in a planting craft in anticipation of Spring gardens.
May was very busy. The weather improved greatly so Play in the Park was a huge success! Recess on the lawn was moved to the Chow Hall at the Alaska Museum (Thank you Dorshorst's!) as it decided to pour down rain. Great fun was had by all who attended.
We had two tours: The librarian at the Community Library gave students a tour of the Library and had an activity for them to enjoy as well as a treat! She also let them know about the Summer Reading program and encouraged students to participate.
The second tour was a two fold activity. Students were able to ride on a school bus, a real treat for those students who have only homeschooled. The bus then took them to the Mugrage Hay and Cattle Farm to learn about cattle and the workings of the farm.
In mid-May, we were able to participate in our Annual Walk to the Drive In for ice cream. Students and parents left the parking lot in front of the office to hike the 1.2 miles into town to the Drive In. Owner, John Sloan, treated everyone to an ice cream cone. Thank you!! Students and parents hiked the 1.2 miles back to our Raven Office.
Ms. Katya put together kits for students to make sugar scrubs to give to their Mom, Grandma or favorite Aunt for Mother's Day! There were some really cute containers full of sweet smelling goodness for a bunch of lucky moms.
Alumni news: 2016 Raven graduate, Mariam Davitadze, graduated from the UAF with a Bachelors of Business Administration. 2018 graduate, Olya Sinenko, graduated from UAF with an Associates degree in Applied Science. 2016 graduate Julie Teslo received certification as a Surgical Technician. We are very proud of your accomplishments!
We are open as of June 1st. No masks needed. If you are ready to set up your student's ILPs, give us a call to reserve a time to meet.
Thanks to you, we reached our goal!
