We had our official last week of CC meeting.  We have one more review day and then our end of year program.  Girls have done extremely well.  E decided not to test due to her getting behind from her surgery.  She still memorized over 250 facts of information. P and G did great too!

E had her Faces of History program.  She did amazing!!! Read her 5 paragraph paper in front of the crowd, while dressed as Matilda of Flanders.  So precious!
