Guest Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Nothing. I have come down with an awful summer cold. I thought I was feeling a bit better today, but after a shower and a load of laundry, I am wiped out. Being sick is no fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Two of my kids are off to the state fair today, so no schoolwork for them. Oldest dd is in pain from her orthodontic appt yesterday, so we'll see what she's up to. I'll probably do some reading with her. Oldest ds will be working on his history paper, doing some history reading, and math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dory Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 ds8 - one chapter Life of Fred, One lesson FLL, one lesson SOTW dd7 - two pages MM, two lessons BJU reading2, ds5 - one lesson SM, one chapter from C.S. Lewis "The Magicians Nephew" In the summer I try to alternate what days we do things and we never really have a full day of school. My 5 yr old reading was his idea, I normally wouldn't have handed a book like that to a 5 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Crown Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Great Girl: pre-reading her calculus text for next year's class so she can hit the ground running in college. Middle Girl: algebra, Greek, world history, Bible, arithmetic, and practicing piano right now. Wee Girl: TOPS lentils, Miquon, finished Stuart Little, and right now playing with the toys she got for her birthday yesterday. We work hard over the summer. It's just too hot to do much else.

Occasionally Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 DD8 is sick so she gets a pass today (well, she is working her way through all of the Great Brain books today, does that count?) DS6 did grammar, writing, and German. He was ahead on spelling and math so I gave him the day off from those. I'm hoping none of the other kids get whatever DD has. Feel better krazzymommy!

Karen in CO Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 No school. It is park day. The sky is blue, the sun is shining, it isn't hot, and they're at the park with friends.

The kids are working on and off on math do they can start taking classes at the public school in Aug. You know, I actually got it for Middle Girl, but the manual was so confusing it ended up on the shelf for a couple of years. Now I have a handle on it and it's going beautifully, and Middle Girl helps Wee Girl do it, to their mutual satisfaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Element Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Ds has discovered Harry Potter so I have been going really easy on him for the past couple of weeks to allow him time to read through the books. :D Today he did math, writing, and memory work review. He read most of the morning. Dd worked on a story she has been writing. It is 95 degrees (102 heat index) here so no one wants to play outside!

Farrar Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Still going... A little math, some phonics, some history read alouds and a field trip to the science center. This trip was organized by another group and we just signed up with another family we're close to. The other family and us were the ONLY people who showed up when it was supposed to be 15 kids. I was just floored. I've heard people talk about flaky homeschoolers who do this sort of thing, but this was my first experience with it on this level. I've been to a lot of group field trips and while occasionally someone flakes out, this was like a whole other level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closeacademy Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 We had a beautiful full day scheduled of math, history, reading, etc. But instead we got to get a new key made for the van, drive to the next major town north of us to pick up the last two boxes of tile that matches ours in the state and drive back home. The good news was that we got to move back home today after two nights of sleeping at my mom's. We don't have a sink and have to step carefully on the tile as we use the toilet tonight but our bathroom will soon be done. :hurray: Who knew that a leaking toilet would lead to a whole bathroom remodel and new lights in most of the house because they were all going bad and the contractor is affordable. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my2boysteacher Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 My thermometer says 103, and I am exhausted from going in and out all day trying to keep our chickens cool.

elfgivas Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 dds practiced the violin starting at 6:30am. (i couldn't make this up, could I?!) then, theater camp runs 8am-4pm, and the younger two are doing that. they get a high school drama credit for it at the end of the month, so that is great. it is shakespeare, so there is lots of learning going on. i pick them up at 4pm, feed them in the car, take them to dance. i pick them up at 7pm, and then they come home and do more music practice. and that is school for today. its fun for them; i'm bored out of my tree. ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mélie Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 We just finished our 7th official day of homeschooling. :) We started off with some reading together, then writing and grammar. Dom played Lego while I did spelling and math with Max, then we all did Dom's math together. We spent most of the afternoon reading about, drawing, and doing a little research on snakes - our animal of the day. I just ordered a few more things and I haven't figured out exactly what I want to be doing, but it was a fun day. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
