We are on Week 12. We are really enjoying this process of doing one week on IG and one week off to focus on our electives. We did our cores K, 1, and 2 with way less 'left-over weeks'. But, now dd is able to really 'get' her AAS, WWE, SL Science, FLL. Speaking of WWE; we finished WWE 1 last week.
We were really busy last week. We somehow managed to get a ton of our lessons done, add-in's done, and went to the A. Park *Twice* and went to the Indianapolis Children's Museum *TWICE*, and we took dd fishing!
I took "The Light in the Forest" off of dd's reader and turned it into a Read ALoud. We camped in our backyard on Saturday and Sunday and had DH read that book to us each evening. It really gives you a different perspective from the Indians point of view; similar to that of Birchbark House, that we read earlier.
For audio we have been listening to SOTW so much that we needed a break. We started relistening to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and have really been enjoying that in the van. For our inside audio story; we have been relistening to the books from the American Girl Felicity series and are half way through them (books 1-3 completed).
The other fun thing we have done each day is that we start with our audio: 1)the track the IG requires each week, 2)the song of the books of the old testament, 3)the song of the books of the new testament, 4)FLL songs on our grammar terms-articles, conjunctions, verbs, prepositions... maybe a hymn off a cd to start the day with a smile.
We finished one week of SL Science 3 and dd has voiced her strong approval of the new material. I have been looking forward to this level of science. Annie had recommended a stereo microscope from Home Science Tools, and I will buy that next week. Dd contributed all her b-day money b/c she wanted one so bad. So, I contributed all my b-day money and wa-lah we will have it!
