TOG Y1 U4 Wks 34-36 - Princess E

Well, I'm going to divide this into three separate posts. I handed the girls all the rest of their work for the year and told them that when they were done, then they were done for the school year. I always end up doing this at the end of the year out of impatience. Not that they will be done exactly - we are going to be doing their science this summer during a break from our normal studies. So first up will be the remaining assignments for Princess E.

Growing With Grammar: Not much left here actually, only lessons 8.7 to 8.10 and Chapter 8 Review. She really likes this series. I'm tentatively planning on it for next year, though I wonder if adding Latin will make it over the top.

Math U See Gamma: This week she is in lesson 24. She caught onto multiple digit multiplication much faster than I thought she would so far. She says that she wants to finish this book up so that she can go on to Delta right away next year. We'll see how motivated she is. I said that she could do the lessons by doing one of the worksheets A, B, or C. If she got it all correct then she could choose one of the review pages. If she got that with one wrong or less, then she could go straight to the test.

TOG studies: We've got the last three weeks of Year One Unit Four. She has to complete all of the vocab on Quizlet, a couple more maps, some important people copywork, and some SAPs.

Reading Assignments: She will finish up the Usbourne Internet-Linked Ancient World Encyclopedia. She has seemed to really like this book this year. She will also finish Famous Men of Rome. She will read Mystery of the Roman Ransom and Galen to finish up her literature studies.

The last day of piano will be this Wednesday. I plan to have the girls take four lessons throughout the summer just to keep the practice up. I am debating whether or not to try to get a vocal scholarship for Princess E to Macphail in the fall. She would LOVE it of course, but not sure if the cost, even with a scholarship, would be too much.
