Becky
- was being quite the hypochondriac this a.m. so she curled up on the couch with a blanket and we did things there.
- I read part of the story of Elijah and Elisha from Bible History. The story was long, the language antiquated, and Becky grumpy, so we kept it short.
- Read a couple of paragraphs from Wild Animals I have Known. She is not taking to this book so we might stop after this first story (which is rather long). She narrated back.
- I don't know why I am having Becky do all this narration. She narrated more Great Brain and Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane to me this a.m. Plus a chapter or two of Ellen Tebbits by Beverly Cleary.
- Becky wanted to do Map Skills so we did a page that had you study a map and then answer T or F to statements on it.
- We reviewed very briefly our Latin up until now and learned the word Agricola. She already knew it and proceeded to tell me a snippet from the Penderwicks where one of the girls is studying Latin but hadn't gotten any farther than agricola, agricolae.
- Did a couple of problems in Saxon Lesson 2 orally and then did the mental math from Lesson 3.
- Did day 3 of Week 8 WWE1.
- Becky perked up a bit after an early lunch. She did some verbal puns with me she had seen on pbskids.org. For instance she wrote the word school on the top of a piece of paper and I had to figure out it meant 'high school.' She did several of those. They were fun and she was learning to spell the words.
- Becky decided to draw. I had to tell her 3 things to draw and she would - she drew a tea kettle on a stove, a picnic under a tree, and a bedroom.
- For some reason it was Josh and Sean who worked on the Ferris Wheel scene from the 3rd Man today. Don't know what happened to the Gettysburg Address for Josh.
- Josh worked on math all morning, completing lesson 83 and taking test 20 in Alg II.
- Sean worked on making things for his friend's birthday using an online 'painting' program.
- Will worked with Sean doing Saxon L. 3
- Josh went to his math tutor 1:15 to 2:15.
- Sean spent more time on garage band and then spent time somehow creating a 'trading card' as a gift for his friend on the laptop. Don't quite understand it but he kept asking me how to spell things.
- Sean did some penmanship
- Will and I talked to the Collegeplus coach and order books for the CLEP tests.
- Becky watched a of tv in the afternoon
- Josh goofed off until after dinner when he started on his Biology homework (which is proving to be quite challenging).
- Read Becky Chapters 14 and 15 of Little Women.
- Had Sean read 30 minutes of The Treasure Seekers
