I will again be posting two weeks worth of assignments. Or rather two weeks of Tapestry assignments. We had Nanny and Papa here from NC for the past week. So I gave them all their TOG work for week 15 on the 19th. I reassigned all their other work over the next three weeks. This way we had time to spend doing more fun things - like making cookies, going shopping, and hanging the quilt my mom made for DH and I on our wedding day in our two story entry way.
Princess E - 6th Grade - Dialectic
Latin for Children Primer A: Two weeks of flash cards study on all words from chapters 1-19.
Math-U-See Delta: Continue lesson 25 - Yep - Again. But I think we'll be doing the test real soon.
IEW: We didn't get to this this week as we had an ortho appointment instead.
Foundations 1: Finish suffix -ABLE. Begin UN- + -ABLE.
MCT Language Arts: Read Sentence Island pgs 147-175. Practice Island 14-17.
Spelling: We did not do a spelling bee this week.
Science: We took the end of book test. We will get ready to begin the next book in the series.
TOG Yr4 Wk12-13: Timeline; SAPs; AQ/TQs; Reading - Joseph Stalin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Idiot's Guide, Usborne Intro to the Second World War, The Snow Goose Corrie ten Boom, The Gift of Music.
Princess S - 4th Grade - UG
Growing With Grammar 4: Chapter 3.9 to 3.11
Math-U-See Gamma: We finally had a breakthrough. Princess S admitted that her way was not working. Since her way was a hybrid of the two methods Mr. Steve showed on the video, I figured it would be difficult to switch to either one. So I taught her the way that DH and I learned, and she finally got it. I also let her come up with her own problems as long as they had three digits on the top and two or three on the bottom (and not all zeros or ones). Then I let her check her answers with a calculator. This was great fun for her, as I general do not let them use mine.
IEW, MCT Language Arts, Spelling and Science: same as above
TOG Yr4 Wk11: Quizlet vocab; important people; SAPs; Reading - War, Peace and All That Jazz, The Holocaust, Winston Churchill, The Hundred Dresses, Corrie tenBoom.
Princess L - K - LG
We are at a stand still right now. We are focusing on speech therapy right now and the words that she needs to read and say with that. We have virtually stopped Winter Promise for the moment.
Math-U-See Primer: Lesson 26 is throwing us for a loop. She can do just fine if all she has to do is count by 's, but once she has to switch to counting by units, she breaks down. We finally were seeing some good results before we took our break. I figure we will have a small reteaching time the beginning of next week.
Awana Sparks verses: Princess L finished her first book and got her award on Sunday during the service. She is beginning the review book this week.
Princess M - PreTOGger
Princess M went to her first birthday party. Her best friend from church turned three and had a big party. Princess M had a blast! But, she had a hard time understanding that the present that she helped pick out was not hers, but was going to be left at Princess A's house. So sad!
We have three weeks left of unit two. I have a few changes I want to make when we hit the next two units. Specifically, I would like to begin to incorporate some of the WTM ideas of written narrations for Princess S and written outlines for reading for Princess E. I will also begin using MFW First Grade with Princess L. There are some things that I think we missed in switching from MFW to Winter Promise. So since Princess M is waiting in the wings, I decided to purchase a used copy of MFW to fill in the blanks. I will still be using many parts of Winter Promise to supplement (the games are awesome!) but we will not be following them in the order Winter Promise lays out.
