Week In Review
Hard to believe another week is gone! We had a good week. I was going to be all fancy and post pictures of our work and such but Seryozha is asleep on my lap so that will have to wait until next week.
London:
This week London read a couple of chapters of Tom Sawyer, which she hated. She's at the "in between" spot between books that one sometimes finds oneself at when they just can't seem to find a book to capture their interest. She also read three lessons from McGuffey. She did lessons 38 to 41 in grammar and got to week 2 part 9 in MEP. She did her second week on the Agricultural and Industrian Revolution for history. For CW she got her rough draft written--I need to type it and she needs to edit it then write the final draft, but we'll do that this weekend.
Alex:
We finished The Door in the Wall. He also finished his HWT book. He, like London, needs to edit and retype his final draft for CW but has everything else caught up. He did lessons 44 to 47 in grammar and memorized his multiplication tables by playing a game where he's a knight running through a castle. In order to continue in the game he has to fight dragons by solving multiplication problems. Now he's a multiplying expert. He learned about the feudal system in history this week.
Both:
We finished lesson 1 in Lively Latin and another week in SWR. They are averaging 100% on their quizzes, which is big. I see an improvement in their spelling every day.
Holden:
For history we read "The Story of Regulus" from 50 Famous Stories Retold. We read "People in the Longhouse" from The American Story and "The Romans Come Again" in Our Island Story. For Natural History we read "Only One Woof" by James Herriot. He ROCKED phonics this week--we used Reading A-Z and he breezed through it. We read a poem a day from A Child's Garden of Verses. We read four chapters in Little House in the Big Woods, two of Aesop's fables, and "Camel" from Just So Stories. He did a couple of lessons from RightStart math and also a couple of lessons from MEP.
All of them did science! We actually did it twice this week so a big improvement. We also listened to classical music. We still need to fit art in and definitely we need to focus on Russian but I'm much more pleased with our progress this week.
