By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; and by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. ~Proverbs 24:3-4

• Sep. 6, 2007 - We are finishing up week 3!

I hope your school has been going as well as ours has! We are starting to settle into a routine.  However, I did get thrown a monkey-wrench last week.  My fitness center up and closed.  Now I have to figure out if I am joining another one, or just working out at home. We went to KY to visit Granny and Grandpa (my dh's parents) over Labor Day weekend.  We had a good time and even did school in the car on the way there and on the way home. Observations: - Mei loves, loves math.  She is averaging 2 to 3 lessons a day.  She even brought her math book to me around 9pm last night asking for instructions on a set of problems.  She is starting to memorize her addition facts. - Mark has learned one or two new things in math, but he hopes more new things are coming soon. - Mark did better this week on his spelling test.  I think Spellwell is working okay for him. - dh is getting them up at 8am and putting in an educational video for them to watch until I am ready to start teaching.  This has been a great way for them to watch the videos for history and CAtW. - We are still not getting to Spanish very often. - We got in 2 days of science this week! - Mei is distracting Mark less. - Mark enjoys playing/learning with the crafts after I make them. - Mark and Mei are arguing less. - Both are loving homeschool. - I joined the local homeschool group. Changes: - I need to figure out my exercise schedule and fitness center issues. - Got to figure out how to get more Spanish done. - Need to have Mark write more.  It is still a struggle for him.  I need to help him figure out why it is so hard so we can work on improving it. - Mei loves to color, so I think she and I will start doing the coloring crafts while Mark finishes other work. - I want to add a Bible based study for Mark.  The one included with AS1 is too easy for him. Pictures!! Mei's Travel Diary - page 1 -  our travel path.  I did the labeling for her. Our mud wigwams (American History 1) before we took them off the bowls.  The one on the left stayed together. Mei and her Timeline Notebook.  The title was her idea!  BTW - she is growing out her bangs so the hair in the eyes look is common these days. You can do it!  Science this week was experiments with the robot T-Rex.  Yes, he could pull the notebook once we gave him two strings to pull with.
