Well, I'm sorry I haven't posted much. We've been having internet connectivy troubles around here, and half the time I can't stay on long enough to post anything. I've been researching my article for the Homeschool Nations New York blog about field trip destinations here in NY, and finally had so much trouble that I barged in on my dear friend Kelly and hijacked her hi speed. I ended up having to email the whole article to myself and cut and paste from home because the password got reset. I have to say, I've spent so much time wrestling with the computer that I'm glad I invested in the SOS math for Chris, because that's the one subject that he really needs help on, so he could tell as he went along where he was going wrong, and could see me for help. The actual math part hasn't been much trouble for him, but the spelling can be a hassle. If you spell a word wrong, it marks it wrong, so I'd have to go back through some of the problems with him just to fix the spelling. Overall, though, he is much more successful with it than I thought he would be. No tears and hysterics with this one. Other than math, we've been working on test prep materials, doing lots of grammar exercises like proofreading, and doing tons of reading. For science, we've been reading Horrible Science and doing nature study along with science in Greece and Rome and experiments at co-op. We are also starting a science project for our co-op open house. We are finally transitioning into Ancient Rome along with continuing NY history. Definitely enough to keep us busy!
I'm going to try to continue writing entries off line, and when I get good connections, I'll post them all. Take care till next time. |
