Weekly Report #19

I can't believe the P.S. kids were still out of school on Monday!?! I was looking forward to a fresh start this week but was thrown off by the knocks and calls on Monday morning. The kids have a hard time focusing when they know their friends are out front playing :( Busy week for us with lots of things going on, trying to stay on task was very difficult and I am sure that is to be the norm around here for a while. Trying to get the kids back in to the swing of things--- SO HARD! I am ready to get back to our regular schedule and they are fighting me the whole way. I curse the public school breaks!!!!! I decided to hold off on starting our Latin studies this week... hopefully next week....

Weekly Report # 15

We started the week off on a really high note. The kids both seemed very motivated (Our history switch seems to have encouraged the attitude change)
DD has been a reading maniac. Sneaking up, finishing whole chapter books in a night. She is loving the Baby Sitter's Club- Little Sister's books and read 3 just this week! DS seems to have finally realized what I have been telling him for years- the sooner you start the sooner you finish! It has made a huge difference time wise for us! Because he has finally figured this out (so it seems at the moment- hopefully it lasts) Our school days end much sooner! We have had more free time for the fun stuff!

MATH-
DD is still breezing through math. We are working on multiplication in her book but she already taught herself the basics(1,1,10,100) so it has been really easy review for her. She completed 2 lessons per day this week.
