This week we looked at the last year of JFK's presidency. We learned about the March on Washington and why it was significant. Princess E looked at how the fight for civil rights in certain African countries was similar to the fight in the United States. Princess S has started a project for co-op on the Apollo missions. Princess L took an audiology screening this week to rule out a hearing loss. She passed with flying colors. Based on that, she will have one more week of speech therapy and then we will take a break to see if a little maturation will solve the remaining issues.
Princess E - 6th Grade - Dialectic
Latin for Children Primer A: Finish lesson 26 and begin lesson 27
Math-U-See Epsilon: Lesson 1 and part of lesson 2
IEW: We began lesson 10.
Foundations 1: Suffix -ED
MCT Language Arts: The Music of the Hemispheres: Read pages 49-63 (learning about rhyming schemes) and did the writing exercise. I'll do another post with the poems that they wrote.
Practice Island: Sentence 47-51
McCrabbs: 51-55
Science: Lesson 11 - Learning about Igneous Rocks
TOG Yr4 Wk23: Timeline; SAPs; AQ/TQs; Reading - Poetry for Young People: Langston Hughes, A Dream of Freedom, Idiot's Guide, Brother Andrew: God's Secret Agent, 10,000 Days of Thunder, The Making of Modern Africa. Read Aloud - The Story of the World, Volume 4.
Princess S - 4th Grade - UG
Growing With Grammar 4: Chapter 5.9 to 5.11
Math-U-See Delta: Lesson 1 - I made the same deal with her for that I made with Princess E. If she can get 100% on her choice of the A,B or C sheets, then she can move straight to the review sheets. She must do all of those. If she is getting the new information wrong, then she will be doing the other sheets.
IEW, MCT Language Arts, McCrabbs and Science: same as above
TOG Yr4 Wk25: Quizlet vocab; important people; SAPs; Reading - All the People, Martin Luther King Jr, The Cold War, The Phantom Tollbooth. Read Aloud - same as above.
Princess L - K - LG
MFW First Grade: Lessons 50-56.
Math-U-See Alpha: Lesson 2 - this lesson has her practicing writing her numbers through 20. It is frustrating that she still does numbers backwards. If it were the same one all the time, that would be understandable, but she does random numbers backwards throughout the page. Since Alpha stresses mastery, I'm waffling with whether or not to move on, but I probably will. I think she'll get frustrated by doing the same writing every day.
Explode the Code: pgs. 90-92
Princess M - PreTOGger
I've come out of denial about this little one being a southpaw. For a while she would switch back and forth, and sometimes will eat right handed. But give her a pencil or crayon, and it will be put in her left hand. I know the saying goes that lefties tend to be more creative - so I'm clinging to that. I'm on a mission to learn more about how to teach a leftie to write.
