The 2nd week isn't going quite as well as the first.  Why do I allow dr's appts to mess up a whole day??  Oh well.  We're still on track, I just feel out of sorts with the scheduling of it all.  Need to get the kids moving in the morning and stay on track!  :)

This week started out with a project for Card 2 from Old Testament/Ancient Egypt from Veritas.  It was to make a serpent.  Here's a picture of Samantha's: 

They were fun to make!  Matthew and I made one also.

Samantha started diagramming in English this week.  She's a little frustrated with all the figuring out of subjects and predicates but she's getting it.  I, on the other hand, love diagramming and so I'm enjoying teaching it to her.  HOpefully she'll learn to love it also. 

Matthew has suddenly decided that he likes his handwriting book (Reason for Handwriting) and is doing 2 or more pages a day.  LOL  His fine motor skills are improving rapidly and today his "d's" looked terrific!!

I haven't mentioned much about Kayla.  We're using a correspondence school with her.  There were many factors involved and that was how the decision played out. She started her freshman year in October and had 1 year to complete the work.  We had a slow start what with figuring it all out...how to plan it..an so forth.  Because of that she's just now in the last class (science) for her freshman year and it needs to be finished this month.  She's doing great!!!  She's been doing a test every other day and really studying a lot.  I'm so proud of her for making it happen.
