Around the House ~ Getting back on track for daily chores. La is starting to help me with every household job now. She doesn't like cleaning toilets! Who does? She asked me why she needs to do all this with me. I said, "Because we don't have cows."
Out & About Learning ~ Art class at the Kimball Art Center & Homeschool PE Class.
Study Time ~
Our scheduled study time is from 9:30 until lunch. La has been wanting to do lots of lessons during this time. This is very different than from years past. In the past we mostly did whatever we felt like during this time, but now she is wanting to make plans and is sticking to them. Here is what we did this week.
- 1-2 Latin Lessons 4 days - one great thing about this Latin book I have is that is covering English grammar by talking about subjects, verbs & conjunctions, etc...
- Sequential Spelling 4 days
- A science experiment about fall leaves
- Lorelei finished 2 Greek projects
- Olympic fact finding exercise
- Researching how Christmas is celebrated in Greece
- In Momschool I covered the following
- Ferdinand Magellan
- First Day of Fall
- Thales - Greek mathetician
- Euripides - Greek playwright
Afternoons ~ We either continued studies or La played outside. She has been collecting and chopping acorns. I love to see her spend a few hours outside everyday.
Next week La asked me to plan Math a couple days. WOW! She is asking for math!
I hope to do a weekly update for every week. Firefly Corps meeting tomorrow. Should be fun!!!!
