our magnificent twisted home education journey

Sep. 28, 2005 - 3 days in a row baby

Seriously I think doing this blog is shaming me into getting my act together.  nothing like a good old fashioned shaming.

Madeline:
Math - did a page of borrowing and carrying practice.  we bought her 3rd grade books last night. She should move through these pretty fast too.  Its hard to know exactly where she is in math since miquon goes in such a differnt order.  it makes switching over difficult.  Oh and today was painful.  She was way distracted.

Spelling - did lessons one and two for unit 2.  come on its a 1st grade speller.  I'm not pushing.  she ought to know all this by now.  but again we didn't use a cirriculum for this so now we are sowing the seeds of disoganization. 

Piano - practiced for some time.  did whole lesson.  we played together.  She taught me some stuff.  it was fun.  The program she is using doesn't move very fast by way of preformance skills but it focuses on reading mucis which is nice. that is a skill I never even came close to mastering.  She already knows many of the codes and symbols as well as doing a pretty good job of sight reading.  Out of six kids her age taking lesons only one is using a different program and tehy all have different teachers.  that is reassuring.  The one girl plays better but I don't think she can read music.  Everything is memorized.

Computer - haven't done it yet but she wil play the geographty game again for a while.  weh ave decided to spend teh whole week on one CD Rom and then switch to another one.

Bible/Handwriting-  Started unit 3 in her cursive book (each unit takes a week when done regularly, each lesson is fairly short.  althoguh like everything today she managed to make it painfully drawn out.

Lilyka -
Lilyka did a page of numbers and finished her number recognition book.  yay Lik!  So that was number 1-30.  I think the next one is 1-120.  kinda a jump.
She did some in her explode the code book.  we bought the new book last night.  This afternon madeline insiste we already had that book.  she was right.  she cold have said something last night.  oh well.  I wonder if the  1/2 books are really nessecary.  probably wouldn't hurt.
She also did some other phonics/letter recognition stuff.

on the computer she id a jumpstart CD and worked on counting and patterns.  She is realy beyond that CD but our hard drive keeps crashing and she just wants to finish LOL

Ava- made pest of herself.  aahhhh, teh anti-helper lives.

tonight the bigs are going to church while Ava and I run some errends.  Madelienw ill be in Chior this year and I am not sure hat tehy do for wednesday night programs but it is only an hour.  yeehaw!

in the mean time I have been washing and bundeling herbs for our neighbors and drying some more for friends and for me.
