This new library thing is working well for me and Sam. He has his assignments, I drive him to the library, and he works straight through until he is done! No distractions from little miss "I'm the center of the universe now!!"
So my brain is starting to think of stuff. Why should Sam have to do ALL of his subjects everyday? What if before January we concentrate hard and heavy on History, and then after January hit science with the same intensity? Would it work?
See... I would love that. I love being immersed in one topic thoroughly. I always felt jumping around the subjects was jarring. But this is Sam's high school and I don't want to screw it up. Still...
So he would be doing language arts, religion, and geometry regularly, but he would be doing history for the first half of the year and science the second. I think I'll have to mull this over a bit.
Oh - we are more than halfway through Ida B.
Izzy started the next story in her Pathway reader - the name escapes me but it's the one where they finally get a dog.
Izzy dusted off the cobwebs of the math portion of her brain.
Noah is doing two lessons of math for the second day.
Gabe did science questions- and not too badly at that!
We also read about this freak hurricane from 1938 that hit Long Island and Connecticut!
