It has been a busy two weeks. Princess L was down with a stomach bug one day, but thankfully it didn't spread and was over in less than 24 hours. We took a field trip to the MN Orchestra. Princess E had been to the orchestra before with DH, but this was the first time for Princess S and Princess L. (Princess M got to spend some quality time with Grandma!) We visited during a Young People's performance of Sleigh Ride. We were taken around the world through the holiday sleigh ride music from various countries. The final song was Ode to Joy done with a local string school and the stage and aisles were filled with young violin students. It was a lot of fun, and the girls really enjoyed it. Because of the Thanksgiving holiday break, we had one less day to complete week 16. But we needed to keep at it because of our co-op schedule.
Princess E - 6th Grade - Dialectic
Latin for Children Primer A: Lesson 20 and begin lesson 21
Math-U-See Delta: We have finally continued on and she has completed lesson 26 and began lesson 27.
IEW: We did Lesson 7 which had us writing a story sequence outline for "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". Both girls chose to change up the story a bit. They certainly enjoy more creative writing as opposed to more formal "scholarly" writing.
Foundations 1: Finish UN- + -ABLE. Begin UN- + -ING.
MCT Language Arts: Read Sentence Island pgs 176-188 We also completed a writing exercise. Practice Island 18-21.
Spelling: We did not do a spelling bee this week.
Science: We began the next book in the series - Our Planet Earth. We got through the first two lessons.
TOG Yr4 Wk12-13: Timeline; SAPs; AQ/TQs; Reading - Joseph Stalin, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Idiot's Guide, Usborne Intro to the Second World War, Tortured For Christ (because I couldn't get the assigned book and our Pastor loaned us this one), The Gift of Music, Lord of the Flies
Princess S - 4th Grade - UG
Growing With Grammar 4: Chapter 3 Review to Chapter 4.5
Math-U-See Gamma: Finish lesson 25 and do lesson 26.
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, Homer Price, Winston Churchill, Pippi Longstockings Corrie tenBoom, All the People.
Princess L - K - LG
We began MFW First grade this week. We are going through two lessons per day as a review. I am not doing any of the science, but I am doing some of the suggested math. We are continuing with the games from Winter Promise.
Math-U-See Primer: Continue Lesson 26.
Awana Sparks verses: Princess L is now working on her review book.
Princess M - PreTOGger
We are working on the short little song that she has to sing for the Christmas program. Princess L sang the same song two years ago, so it helps that the whole family knows the song. Princess M, however, does not seem to like the song and would rather sing Jesus Loves Me (as both songs have the same tune).
We have a two week break coming up after week 18. I have a few changes that we will be implementing but I have to find the time to work on them over our break. We will be scheduling several play days with friends we've not seen in a while.
