Another Week ...
It's Friday night, and I don't *quite* think we're finished with school yet. We had three afternoons out of the house, which always messes things up. Plus, we're getting ready for a birthday party. Party prep and playdates meant that we just didn't finish the work, and unfortunately, some of what was finished was, well, not quite up to expectations. Some students will be working over the weekend.
However, Alderaan is drying and just needs to be painted. It's filled with candy and confetti debris, and will be hung from the balcony to await its destruction by the Death Star of chocolatey goodness. Yes, I'll take pictures, and I hope it all works.
Connor: Three or four pre-algebra lessons with Dad, Latin Prep 5.1-5.3 plus four workbook exercises, a rough draft of a Classical Writing project, research on the Vikings, a paragraph about the Vikings, worksheets about haiku and limericks; plus, he read "The Vikings" by Elizabeth Janeway.
Aidan: Five Right Start math lessons, Latin Prep 4.4-4.5 plus three workbook exercises, A&I from Week 1 of Homer A; plus he read from "Famous Men of the Middle Ages," "The Phantom Tollbooth," and whatever science fiction he could lay his hands on.
Their current bedtime story is "The Subtle Knife."
Griffin: Four Right Start math lessons (rather, four sessions of working on Right Start math), four Phonics Pathways lessons, lots of "Magic School Bus," and a Starfall session. Plus lots of being read to about mummies, British Kings, Star Wars, cats, and his new favorite, the dictionary.
We still didn't manage to burn our Vikings this week. Hopefully next week. It would be nice to move on, at some point. The Battle of Hastings is rattling in the wings.
