I hope all our smrt readers had an excellent Thanksgiving. This being a holiday week, we only had school on Monday and Tuesday, and I kept the lesson plans light, which will make this quite the truncated weekly review.
Huzzah and hooray! We have finished Life of Fred: Fractions! Well, technically, we told Captain Science we’d like him to complete the additional tries for the final bridge to be considered “done,” but he did pass the second try of the final bridge, so he’s officially done according to how the book is set up. This means I must get Life of Fred: Decimals and Perfects from Patchfire before Monday, and that I need to hit Scary Jesus Book Store to grab some Key To… books for additional practice.
Captain Science also completed exercises 2 and 3 in Editor in Chief A1. He has no problem identifying the mistakes, but he’s lazy about rewriting the paragraph, leaving out punctuation (and forgetting to cross the letter t) as he goes. After having to rewrite the paragraphs a few times, though, I think the light bulb came on and he realized that rewriting the paragraph correctly is an important part of the lesson.
He really didn’t do much else in an official capacity. We talked through what we would be doing with Rome starting next week. I think he did some work from Logic Countdown, though which activities he worked on are escaping me at the moment. We did some good deep cleaning of the house, so I can count that as Home Ec, right? *wink*
LMK if you want some Fred & Rome tomorrow… B & I could bring them up (and the house could acquire more paint in my absence!)
It’s Captain Science’s birthday, so we won’t be around from 1pm onward, most likely. If you’re going to Bastian’s birthday, though, I could get them from you there!
