| Dd did a drawing like this one; but spilled her tea on it--so she had to do a second one (this one). Our LHE hs group is having a competition. They wanted a lighthouse, an anchor, and a sand dollar. |
Well, on 10-4 thru 10-10 I had a migraine everyday. I was in bed or laying down last Fri., Sat., and Sun. to help get over the worst of it. By Mon. I had the strength to do lessons during my good hours (with Maxalt).
Here's a look at what we worked on this week:
Bible:
Mark & Matthew
Psalm 103:

I think this is our fifth Sing The Word CD that we have done repeatedly with our Sonlight curriculum so far; and we really, really like this product. You might research them and see what you think. It has been 5 years since I did the research myself; all I remember now is that I was very impressed...how vague can I be?!
Lincoln : A Photobiography by Russell Freedman
History/Geography:Lincoln: A Photobiography--Ch. 6 to finished. I don't know why; but I never looked forward to reading this book. I think b/c the chapters were so long and too good to stop in the middle. But, the material was very good and I did like the book. I have no idea why it didn't get a five stars type of feeling from me; but it didn't--maybe a four stars book. I'm sure many would disagree with me; but it just was missing something to me. It did have really fantastic photo's and the content was excellent; just no big bells and whistles. I did have a chocked throat during the whole last chapter...but made it through without crying.
These books I've moved to Dd doing on her own b/c I am not really into them. I really loved the poetry book in Core D; but this one hasn't connected with me. So, Dd is reading it aloud to me so maybe it will grow on me.
*Oxford Illustrated Book of Poems-check

Spellingcity.com-since we are really close to finishing AAS 3, I have been going over all the previous tests and having Dd do them again and noting which words she hasn't retained. Then I am taking those words and letting her work on those on Spellingcity.com.
DVD: Ansel Adams-we've only watched 1/2 so far; but it is really good. I'm not sure Dd is getting all of it. It would be better for kids 12 and older.
