Today's work didn't go so well. For some reason, Shaun had an attitude that just would not quit. He found fault with everything. And procrastination? He gave new meaning to the word! LOL!! But we'll get through all of this....I hope. We did:

Bible:

We finished up the empires & periods with the Maccabean & Roman. Then We started on Religious Literature with the Apocrypha. We'll continue this tomorrow.

Math:

Today was adding & subtracting. (I told you they were doing review! They went back to the basics!!)

Literature:

Every day it looks like Shaun will have words to define (Defining for Comprehension), a story to read & questions to answer (Testing for Understanding & Reading for Understanding) about the story. Then there's questions for discussion (Meditating for Meaning) which we may or may not do, depending on the day & etc. There's also a section called "Looking for Literary Technique" which will have questions to think about & discuss. The story today was called Mama and the Garfield Boys. It was about a family of brothers who were basically juvenile delinquints & a teacher who showed them a little love & discipline which made them turn around & act right. Good story....(or so I thought!)

Science:

Today we finished up the Phases of Matter with liquids & gases.

Social Studies:

We studied the Major conflicts today.

Computer Basics:

Shaun learned the Advantages & Limitations of Computers. It was pretty much common sense & I think he found it a bit boring but he did it never-the-less.

PE: No PE today....the day was too rough!
