Running Commentary

I'm just gonna post as we go & see how it works....

The T's are working on word searches, & they have writing practice sheets w/ the same words, as well as a math worksheet.  We have America, the Story of Us playing in the background.  As of this moment, K & C are still sleeping.  I think I'll print off some crosswords/word searches or something for them too.  I'll also give them a list of websites to use - directing, rather than sitting back & see what they do.  (They choose to play Roblox - which isn't a BAD thing, b/c K has learned SO much coding from it... I just want them to do more... & different things.)

Not only are we watching history, but we're learning science, too!  They were just talking about how they inoculated against smallpox.  We've also had conversations on "the rule of 9's" for addition.  We're mostly reviewing things this week to see where exactly they are.  I know they know a lot of things; I'm just not sure how much of what they do know.

Holey Moley!

I've been away far too long.  I probably won't start back up in force until "school" starts back up in a couple of weeks...  I want to do better at keeping records of all the cool stuff we do & learn this year.  However, that being said, I wanted to note here that we have a new granddaughter!  She was born this past Friday, July 29th & she's absolutely beautiful!  She's teeny tiny - 5#10 at birth & was down to 5#3 on Sunday when they came home, but she's perfect!  Her name is Lillith Jade.  All the kids have gotten to see her except K - who was away at football camp when we went down there.

More to come...
