Brian stayed home till 11:30. He was using the school table to fix a car part. This threw my school schedule off. And I had to all the hospital about Manuel's leg. I wasn;t sure hpw deep to get into somethinguntil I knew if we'd be gone all day.
I had Manuel do about 5 pages in Miquon. He was coloring fractions and writing fractions to go with pictures. While he did that Gavin did his History CD and Connor did his Saxon Math. G&C continued while I did massage with Manuel. Then they all played outside with magnifying glasses.
I called them to do another round of school. Gavin and Connor did online Science. Gavin's went well. Connor was too distracted by Gavin's to do much on his own. Though he didn;t learn much about human anatomy, he learned a bit about atoms and chemistry from Gavin!
I found a Picture Encyclopedia for Manuel. It's Spanish. He read 6 pages and I told him to write something down from each page. He wanted to copy everythng from every page. Hey- I didn't tell him he had to, but more power to him! I'm sure he learned more by copying it all.
Ki and I played Word Card games, then he wanted a "SpellCheck" for his story he is writing. So I read through it and wrote down the correct spelling of words and he corrected them.
LUNCH and Recess (Ki an Connor fought)
Then we finished school.
To Start I had Ki do 4 laps on the Joint Compression Ball. Then he played Game Goo while I did spelling with C&G. I had Manuel choose if he wanted to read or use the LEap Pad. He choose Leap Pad 'Party en le Casa'. It is a Bilingual story with vocabulaty and word games.
Afer that Ki had one page of math and C&G read.
I was much happier with school today! |
