Learning thru experience - Interim weeks

Interim weeks for each of the children are very different because of their ages, but the experiences are great for all of them.

Forrest, being in high school, gets the big-daddy trip scuba-diving in Malaysia, and he left today for one full week (the entire student body of the high school is going somewhere on this side of the world this week) and it's not even spring break.

Ellis, being in middle-school, has a week on one of the HK islands, and his week is called a Week in the Wild, which is full of climbing and boating, and on and on - Ellis leaves in April.


The girls, being in lower and upper primary had an arts interim during school last week, which was a time to break away from school and have an "arts" experience.

Taylor spent five days learning to sew.  The school hired an American lady who owns The Sewing Lounge her in HK, and she taught the kids so very much. She came home the first day with a reversible apron, on the second day with a padded computer case and on the third day with a pair of pj pants for me! The last day she made a bag (not in the picture). Yep, she's wearing those pants in the picture (they didn't quite fit past my knees).


Claire, chose the singing "arts interim." I've attached two or three short videos of her new favorite songs from Frozen.  The whole world seems to be singing these songs!
