Princess M - Pre-TOGGLER
This week we began the letter D. We read a bunch of dinosaur books. This morning we played the Mugs game from IEW PAL. I was amazed at how many of the letters she was able to say on her own. She had fun playing with our Leap Frog Dominoes that she found in a drawer. We tried matching the colors and shapes, and the colored dots, and she loved them both. Guess we'll have to start playing some more games.
Princess L - 1st Grade - LG
This week she finished up her MUS lesson on +9/9+. I made up a drill sheet with those facts, and she has steadily gotten faster throughout the week. We also started Explode the Code Book 4. But the highlight of her week was graduating from the Discovery cards to the library. So this morning I gave her five books and told her to spend fifteen minutes reading through them herself. Then I went into her room and we settled down on her bed and she read all five books to me. She was very pleased with herself when she was done. I snapped a photo of it.
Princess S - 5th Grade UG
As I mentioned before, Princess S was excited to read Greek Myths again. This week was a better week for this princess, losing her gerbil not withstanding. After a horrible week prior to this one, she seemed to have a better attitude about everything. She is finally beginning to understand long division. I have no idea what happened to make it start to click - I'm just glad that it did. She decided that she wants to participate in the piano festival this year, so she got her first song to begin working on this week. She has made a goal for herself to get five points so that she can earn a trophy. I told her not to put undue pressure, just to work as hard as she can.
Princess E - 7th Grade D
This was also a better week for this princess in that she completed all her work. She received the results of her piano exam and was thrilled to hear she had received highest honors. She, too, is beginning to work on piano festival songs. Unfortunately, she has also come down with a cold which she graciously decided to share with me. So it has also been a week of coughing, sneezing and lots of Kleenex.
Tomorrow I am taking the big two princesses to see Rebecca St. James in concert. I think it should be a lot of fun. If I get any decent pictures, I'll be sure to post them.
