As we’re headed to Asheville, NC tomorrow for Biltmore’s Homeschool Day*, we’re only logging two real days of school this week. Technically, Captain S will be in classes all morning at Biltmore, but I’ll just have to review those later.
This week was pretty light, two days of wrapping things up. Captain Science did the final pass of his Confucius essay, finished the next lesson in Life of Fred: Algebra (lesson 16, Queen City and San Juan), read the section on phrases in Grammar Voyage (including DOING the activity on identifying phrases in sentences), and knocked out the play-test deck of his Pantheon Project cards. He also had a piano lesson and will do his KidCoder computer programming on Saturday.
Tank’s week consisted mainly of tracing the cursive upper and lower case letters on his dry erase sheet. He traced and erased the alphabet, then wrote the numbers 1-10 below them, multiple times, all under his own steam. He also drew several more monsters for me to put in the file, because they’re all so cute that I can’t stand throwing them out. I added a few preschool apps to my iPhone for him: Fairytail Preschool, a simple phonics app (really, it’s just letter sounds), and a preschool matching and puzzle app.
Babypie’s week has consisted mainly of pitching fits and dancing.
Badge the beagle’s main accomplishment was yarking on the carpet.
