- Our music journal prompt this week was “ Have you ever had an ear worm?” Not sure what that is? Ask your child – you’ve probably experienced it;)
Elective
Yearbook – This week, we explored a wide variety of yearbooks from different schools and years, exploring layouts and design styles. We compared layouts that were too busy, had too much white space, and those that were just right.
