TOG Year 4 Week 30

Week 30 is an interesting week because much of what happened during the Carter administration mirrors situations of today.  We talked about the Camp David Accords, and talked about how they are coming to an end today.  We talked about the energy crisis and the high cost of energy.  We talked about the hostage crisis.  That was one of my first historical memories as a child.  I remember watching the whole thing on TV - not really understanding what was going on - but realizing that it was something important.

Princess E - 6th Grade - Dialectic
Latin for Children Primer A: Begin lesson 31
Math-U-See Epsilon: Lesson 6 - this lesson has been a bit more difficult.  I'm not sure if it is just rushing to get through, or if it is that she doesn't understand.  She can tell me what to do, so I'm assuming it's the former.

This little one is very happy to have warmer weather again to play outside.  It has seemed like a long winter.  I'm still on the fence about what to do with her next year but have several options.  I'm not going to firm anything up until after our MACHE conference for sure.
