January 7-12

It has been a difficult couple of months and we have been derailed more than a few times but we are back up and going strong at this point. We took time off but still did lots of reading and what not. Now it is back to the day in and out of school, and here is what we did...

History--We made it through SOTW Chapter 5 including narrations, map work and coloring. No easy thing for me, as I seem to have really gotten stuck here. I don't know why, but it was difficult for me.

Math--Alexander did Saxon lessons 26-29 and Nathaniel did Saxon 21-24.

Reading--Alexander made it through lessons 41-45 in 100 EZ Lessons. Nathaniel went from 21 through 25. We read aloud I Am the Mummy Heb-Nefert; Seeker of Knowledge; Ancient Egyptians and Their Neighbors.

Handwriting--Both boys did well this week and practiced daily. Eliza started a book that I got from Rainbow Resource called getting Ready to Write. I'm not so sure about this book. I think maybe she is ready to start with handwritting.

Music--Both boys practiced everyday this week. Nathaniel has started to find his groove and is getting better about practicing. Less fussing is always a good thing in my book!! Both boys had their 30 minute music lesson.

Grammar--FLL lessons 11 and 12

Bible--A rather slow start here as we only got two lessons in this week.

Science--I just can't bring myself to open that Astronomy book again!! So, we talked about crystals and solutions and made some rock candy.

Outside Activities--Eliza and Nathaniel both did dance class this week. All three kids made it to their karate classes this week. The boys both had a basketball game on the opening day of the season. They both also went to their private chess lesson. They only got one CrossFit kids workout in this week, but they were still very active.
