We finished Week 6 last week. This is a "Left-Overs Week" for us. We focused on LA (FLL/WWE) the last LOW; so this week will be science. We are still working on SL Science 2. We have read about half of The Sign of the Beaver and are really enjoying that. It is a really easy read.

We have 3 activities signed up for this week. I am not sure how many weeks we have left of our co-op classes. Two co-op's goes for 6 weeks, and one class goes for 8 weeks. We are over half done. It has been a lot of fun and I am so glad I let go of our normal schedule to try some new things. We have Aqua Athlete's on Tuesday that is 1/2 Gym and 1/2 Swimming, co-op science, money, and gym on Thursday all morning, and a quick one hour Gym class on Friday.

We are probably on our last week of MUS Beta. DD wanted to do 2 pages a day last week to finish sooner. These last pages is reading gauges and is very easy. I've ordered TT and thought we would give it the 30 day trial to see if it right for dd. I hope it is a good solution; but I won't be sad if we go back to MUS. That is such a great program; if only Steve would intermix the concepts to always keep them fresh. He does such a good job covering each concept; but then drops it to learn a new concept. I know my dd would benefit from having more 'review' pages- a lot more review pages actually.
