The Rolon Clan

The kids have been taking homeschooling classes that they very much enjoy. This course, offered at our local mall, focuses on different things for each class. This week one of the classes focused on movie making. They were loaned cameras and took pictures of the room. Then they got to create a movie with their pictures. They made end credits, used special effects, and then got to share their movie with everyone.

They also took a photography class. Again, they were loaned cameras and took shots of a set of blocks from different angles. They uploaded them to laptops and created wraparound panoramas, cropping, and photo fuse. In the end they "auctioned" their photos to their classmates.

And finally, we attended their geography class. The kids looked up Disneyland on a map and decided that was the place they wanted to research.

Then they put together a presentation using Powerpoint.Jayden presented his topic which had to do with the rides in Disneyland.

 And Cait (with J's help) presented "her" topic which was the History of Disneyland.

 

 

They walked away with some neat gifts, including a water bottle, 2 pens, a 3 color round highlighter, a backpack, goldfish (which were eaten before they even made it to the car), and a calculator.

They spent the rest of the afternoon playing with the calculator, which seems to trump anything they have ever gotten. Jayden inputted large numbers and told Caitlin that's how annoying she is. Cait inputted a zero and said that's how much she loved Jayden. They both inputted large numbers and said that's how much the other one owes them.

Whatever floats their boat!

Jayden is surprised here because he asked me a multiplication fact and I answered correctly. "Whoa Mom, how do you know these things?!"
