Critterfixer Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Good morning! I realized I have 4 weeks left in spring quarter today. And then I'll probably take two weeks off before starting summer quarter. Today I've got a lot to get through. I have all the copying that should have been done Friday. I had to wait on toner. I'm still tending a sick chicken. There's linens to wash and food to cook. I have two critiques to do and a beta-reading session for another writer. I have my own editing and a chapter or two to polish for the beta-reader I'm trading out with. And I still think I might like a nap somewhere in that day, but I don't quite see how to get it. As far as the school year is concerned, I'm pleased with the progress. We should finish up French this week. History and Science are done. Math will be done in two weeks, and I'll just start the review book of the next series to give us something to keep math skills fresh. Writing and Latin can go up to the break, no problem. Basically, I'm ahead of where I expected to be. So I don't feel stressed about school. I'm a little stressed about my writing. I think I can still finished up my planned work for April, but it's going to be a race to the finish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Good thing to rest up while you can. You are going to be so very, very busy soon. :001_smile: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Ugh. Thursday and I'm not that great today. Today's hopeful schedule: No art-I begged off Math-Lesson 7 Grammar/Composition-Spelling practice, some typing practice, maybe. Depends on whether or not I'm up for it. For me: Writing in bed, I think. Chores. I don't see me doing housekeeping or cooking unless I feel better by this afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadenceSophia Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Hope you are feeling better by now, Critter! Writing in bed sounds great. I'm lesson planning in bed, and studying languages, and reading a crime novel/policier. I should get up and clean soon. The house is kinda scary except for what I cleaned yesterday. DH is off work tomorrow and hopefully for the next two weeks if the baby comes. He'll go back to work on Wednesday if not but my mom will be here so today is at least my last day taking care of things alone. Yay. 4 year old is the only one who won't let me off teaching school. I do like teaching number bonds to 20 though so it is kinda fun. Listening to him giggle and be so proud of himself is the best. His numbers are very normal for a four year old -- big and wiggly. But he is so proud, he keeps saying things like "That's the best 4 ever!" And "look a perfect 3!".. So nice to have a reminder of why I love homeschooling while my 8 year old is being a punk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.... Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Critterfixer - do you like CAP French? We're currently using Ecoutez, Parlez...not sure where to go from here. And, of course, none of us ever studied French (so we are clueless). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Short answer--it's okay. Long answer--no, didn't like it. I like the instructor--hate the length of the lessons. I like the book--hate that the answer key doesn't have the lesson, so that means I have to have a book or copy a lesson so that I can follow along as the instructor. Like the vocabulary--hate that I have to make cards and figure out the drill schedule. Like the audio--hate that I have to find the stupid track every time. We'll be giving MP French a run next year, I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
