Critterfixer Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Good morning. I have no clue what I'm doing this week, but I'll probably have it figured out in an hour or so. I expect the schedule for today will be: French-Unit 15 Latin-keep working on lesson 22-that lesson is a long one, and worth spending time over Math-some pretest or another, and we ought to finish up KTD book 1 today or tomorrow. Shakespeare-read the play retelling again and pick some new spelling words for this week, and maybe all three of us will watch more of the play together. For me: Housekeeping (linens day, chicken house cleaning, cat litter, general sweeping), French, Latin, Geometry, Writing (working on some world building today while the first draft cools off. Also thinking about beginning the brainstorming to see if there is a sequel or a prequel to the story that I might write.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Tuesday - Fractions are making this summer schedule longer than I had expected . . . I'm actually assigning a bit less work per day because of it but it is definitely something dd needs to work on. She did another pre-test (for book 2) in decimals and aced it. Well, she had a couple of addition mistakes but nothing conceptual. Lit. is going very well indeed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama25angels Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 My appointment was cancelled this morning. We did music and reading practice, nothing with the older one because we thought he was going to have to work today. He'll probably double up tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 No school for us tomorrow. I've got all sorts of running around to do. But I expect we will have ample time to just sit, listen to music and write our fool heads off. Awesome! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 No school today. However, we watched part of A Midsummer Night's dream together, and chortled our way through with enthusiasm. I think both boys are kind of attached to Shakespeare now. :laugh: And both boys read parts of their latest stories aloud to me today. I am tickled to death at how well one boy is creating his "bad guy" to be a very understandable character--for all that he is a five foot raven. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Wed. - Fractions was mercifully easy today. We needed a day like that! We started the 3rd decimal book, which is where dd placed. Lit. went swimmingly again. Why did I think that language and writing was a problem, again? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mama25angels Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Morning critter!! Today we will be doing more of the writing 8's, we finally started yesterday and he could only get through D before his hand got tired. We'll do more daily until his stamina is built up, I will also start my 8yo on the exercises today, then reading and piano, probably a little math. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Thursday - no school today because we had to go get a picture i.d. for dd14 and waiting at the dept. of licensing takes a looooong time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Friday - today has been a stressful day for all of us. The big race day is tomorrow. Dh didn't sleep. Dd is forgetting everything. Ds actually seems ok. I'm dreading going to the race expo tonight in bad traffic to get the race packets. Math - Fractions - went ok but she only did half of what I assigned. I told her to forget the other half due to how today was going in general. We'll do it on Monday. Decimals - 9 x 9 = 81. It does not equal 18. This fact messed up a number of things today. Lit. - this went fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama25angels Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 We did nothing today at all, not even music practice. I did get my used copy of Challenge Math For the Elementary and Middle School student in the mail today and now I'm wondering exactly what was I thinking when I bought it? Those problems are hard, I'm thinking we'll use it for math on Friday, but just looking at the problems in that book made me break out in a cold sweat, lol. The explanations are great! Guess what? Even with those awesome explanations I still struggled with some of the problems especially those in the problem solving section. I think we'll do the level 1 problems first and then go through the book again next year doing the level 2 problems. I wouldn't dare buy the highschool level book, lol. Seriously, the problems are hard, but I'm looking forward to challenging/stretching myself and my Ds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggieMama Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 We finished off the week of VBS! DD2 turned 5 today so we did nothing academic besides buying an American Girl (Rebecca 1914). Tomorrow is dance recital and more birthday celebrating. I don't foreseeing getting done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
