Week in review

Here is what we got accomplished last week for school:

(There are several classical homeschoolers that are posting their weekly progress reports online and I thought it was a good idea--hopefully I will keep it up)

Math

Kara--we're still working on finding a spot in her math book where she is learing something, so we are still doing 5-10 math lessons a day

Ellie--she took 2 math tests daily and we have now found a starting point for her. She skipped around 30 lessons total.

English

Kara--Ordinary Parents--4 lessons, soft/hard g and c sounds

Ellie--R&S ch 2 test, 3 lessons

Spelling

Kara-she worked ahead so instead of the 2 lessons per week she normally does, she did 4

Ellie--I found a 6th grade spelling list online since she had been bored with what I had for her earlier. This was week 2 of that list.

Latin

Ellie--lesson 6, first declension

Reading

Ellie--she finished up A Wrinkle in Time along with several other books she was reading on her own

Kara--no assigned books for Kara at this point. She gets readers from the library and reads those along with any packages, magazines, etc we have lying around

Read-Aloud

We are currently reading The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe and the kids are loving it!

History

SOTW ch 8--they learned about the Assyrians and the story of gilgamesh. They also made crowns from the era and wore ancient egyptian clothing. Here they are in all their glory.
