TOG Y1R U4 Week 30

I realize it is Thursday and I'm just putting up the week. It's been busy and we've had computer issues - AGAIN! Still waiting for a new hinge and new keyboard for our laptop repair as well.

Princesses E and S have their year end piano recital tomorrow. They have been working hard on their songs, but their teacher is not requiring them to memorize them. They have, but are both going to bring their music up with them anyway. Their teacher does two recitals a year and most of the students perform in the piano festival, so they have plenty of opportunities to have to play their songs by memory.

Princess E
Growing With Grammar: lesson 7.5 through 7.8
Math : Lesson 20
TOG: vocab, geography map, important people copywork, Student Activity Pages, prayer letters
Reading assignments: Usborne Internet Linked Ancient Worlds (excerpts), Famous Men of Rome (selections), The Bronze Bow
** Because the library didn't get in the book I had requested for literature, I am doing an experiment with Princess E. The suggested book was a three week assignment. I found another book within the unit that was a three week book for the Dialectic level. I gave her this and told her it would be harder, but that I thought she could handle it. We'll see how it goes. **

Princess S
Growing With Grammar: lesson 99 through 108
Math: Lesson 30 - She finished the book today! Now I need to decide if we simply do some drill sheets to end out the year or whether or not I should actually start her on Gamma, the next level. I'll pray on it over the weekend.
TOG: vocab, geography map, important people copywork, Student Activity Pages, prayer letters
Reading Assignments: You Wouldn't Want to be a Roman Soldier, Classical Kids (excerpts), Portions of Matthew's Gospel.

Princess L
This little one was so excited to be a part of her first Awana Award Ceremony last night. She completed her first book and received a little stuffed Cubbie bear for her uniform vest. She is getting ready for her ballet recital performance on the 16th.

Princess M
Three of her four eyeteeth have officially erupted. I'm hoping this means better nights. She has discovered that jumping is a lot of fun and she spends many hours jumping on the floor, trying to jump on the couch and jumping in her crib if I don't get her out right away. She has also, finally, picked up the signs for Please and Thank you. But, she is also trying to say some words as well. Her oldest sister had a large vocabulary already at this stage, but I'm not worried about it. Her oldest sister also learned how to say NO at an early age and we've had a hard time since. Maybe we'll get a few more months in the NO-free zone.
