sadiegirl Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 :lol:I miss those days....wish I was counting toes instead of Algebra!!! Today DS is working on: identifying his toes (he points at his nose currently) sorting shapes in his bucket interpretive dance (to techno baby music at the moment) pointing out ball, dog, block, train, dinosaur, sock, balloon, and truck in his favorite book "How do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?" PE at the park Foreign language (Water = Oi-duh, I want water = Oi-duh, goi-duh, oi-duh, goi-duh-goi) Ok, so maybe this doesn't count as home schooling yet but I'm in a silly mood!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Nothing! Today is Australia Day, a public holiday, and the little guy's second birthday! We'll be going to a park in the next town over. The playground is 400m from the car park, so there's no cars except for the ranger who is clever enough to slow down and look where he is going. It's a secluded spot where you don't have to worry about them running away because there is nowhere to go. Hopefully we'll get cake too. I would usually make it myself, but the oven in this place is too dodgy. :( Yesterday we played, over and over, the platypus dvd I found in the library stack that I completely forgot I had borrowed for our platypus mini-unit study the other day. I think dd is convinced that it isn't a wombat after all :lol: She also tagged along with the Dad guy reading Lord of the Rings aloud to me and escorted him down the street to do the shopping. For most of the day, though, she was drawing on her erase board. She sat on the bench behind me while I was working on my grammar lesson and commented on my "drawing" so I told her I was writing, and wrote some parsing abbreviations on her erase board, which impressed her greatly. So I had to alternate between doing writing for her and being told to do my own so she could do more drawing. :lol: The boy chuckled delightedly at the platypus dvd, picked heads off flowers, played with his wire and bead frame thing and eventually fell asleep over it. :001_wub: Real intellectuals we are :tongue_smilie: Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iquilt Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Today was a field trip day! K and 1st attended a mini camp about fossils while my oldest and I had some time for shopping and a lunch date. The museum offers these mini camps for all levels throughout the year and in two weeks it'll be my 4th grader turn while I take the other two out. Love field trip days!

jenL Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Today, ds watched a History Channel Universe episode about Jupiter and then gave me 5 facts that he learned. We continued in R&S grammar with verbs, did WWE, completed 4 pages in geography, and worked on measurement in math. Spelling included the introduction of 4 new tiles/sounds for AAS and a spelling test. I've just started looping our schedule, and we're having a great week so far!

FaithManor Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Ds 8th grade: Apologia Physical Science Module 10 test Algebra test prep - practice test 1/2 of another math lesson Spelling Test #15 Two chapters of assigned reading from a biography of Charlemagne with a three paragraph summary of the content Mapwork in History plus Listening to my history lecture on Pope Leo III's decision to crown Charlemagne as "Holy Roman Empire" and taking appropriate notes on that lecture - this included the 7th and 5th grader, the 7th grader took notes, the 5th grader gave me an oral narration which he then wrote down, well, mostly! One lesson of Latin Three problems from his critical thinking skill book One page of sentence diagramming plus three paragraphs to edit and one paragraph rewrite. Bible memory practice And he programmed three more frames of graphics for his robot game that dh is teaching him to create in Visual Basic. Ds 7th grade - Penmanship - Still hoping at some point to get legible handwriting out of this child! Bible Memory History - quoted above Math - two lessons, he asked for an extra so he could have extra time at the end of the week. I said yes...the reality is that he didn't even need to do the extra in order to have a day off from it because he's 2/3 of the way through his book. But, I thought it was good planning and want to encourage such responsible decisions. Apologia General Science Module 10 test Grammar - Five sentences to diagram, three paragraphs to edit, and two pages of review of comma and semi-colon usage. Spelling Test #16 No Latin - he finished sooner than I thought he would so we are caught waiting for his next book. No mindbenders - waiting for C3 to arrive - again finished early and took me by surprise. Two chapters of "Son of Charlemagne" and two paragraphs on the content. Ds 5h grade: Two lessons of Math - he always does two lessons - that's just who he is Spelling Test #14 Real Science for Kids - finished his text on chemistry and wrote a page summary of some of what he has learned. Bible Memory History - described above Mindbenders B1 - two problems in order to finish the book English - review of usages of lay/lie, raise/rise, set/sit and diagramming direct/indirect objects Worked on a physics project for 4-H and read from "Son of Charlemagne" and the second book in the "How to Train a Dragon" series. He may have also worked on his World Trade computer game - he's also learning V.B. programming. Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
