Okay, it's not really over, but I'm posting, because we have to get to the library and .... I've had enough of this week already.
Andrew has managed to keep up with most of his work. We fell behind in grammar, but the plan is to catch up today and tomorrow (Saturday school?!? You bet!). His spelling is getting better, his writing is getting better, his Greek is getting really phenomenal (love Hey Andrew, but modified and now we're declining and conjugating ala Latina Christiana, instead of one at a time like they recommend), Latin continues on (we can almost converse now)... What else? He's reading "Stuart Little" as our library STILL hasn't gotten "Through the Looking Glass." Oh! History, Andrew made salt dough yesterday and then breached the walls with his Sea Beggars. That was fun. For science, we did not do Chemistry, but we've been doing some really interesting stuff with plants. We disected celery that had soaked up some dye for 24 hours. Then the boys ate it.
Luke is working on his plant book. He's made a little book, cut and colored some "vegetable soup," made a plant time-line and other such stuff. We'll keep working on plants next week, he's really enjoying this. The picture is Luke making dough seeds and planting them in his little dough garden.
Congrats !!! Pat your self and the kids on the back and take a long bubble bath. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe got absolutely nothing done. Zero, zip, zilch.
So sorry you had a long, tough week ... it really is almost over! ;)
ReplyDeleteWe watched celery soak up dye when we studied plants too - fun!
Good Job! I hope to get around starting Latin with my little guy next year.
ReplyDeleteWe had one of 'those' weeks last week. Hooray for Friday! Your plant studies sound like alot of fun.
ReplyDeleteSome weeks are just, well, crazy. It sounds like you still accomplished a lot!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you feel the same way I do. I feel like I dragged myself across the finish line this week.
ReplyDeleteYou had lots of fun though and I can't believe your kids ate the celery. LOL. Once it was colored, my kids wouldn't touch it.
We have been having a lot of those weeks lately. I think for us we just needed some sunshine and to get back into the groove we lost over the holidays. Sounds like you actually accomplished a lot. Now relax and enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou still got a lot done - and I hope next week is a better one for you.
ReplyDeleteSorry it was a tough week for you, I hope next week will be an improvement.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry it was so rough this week, I can definitely relate! Nevertheless, it sounds as though you guys got a lot done. Have a wonderful (and relaxing) weekend!
ReplyDeleteSorry that you had a rough week. I did last week - it happens to us all. the good part is that next week will almost certainly be much better!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend!
I'm glad to hear about your Latin & Greek combination! I'm thinking about adding in the Greek Code Cracker sometime during the year next year (3rd) to go along with our Lively Latin. Hope you are having a restful weekend!
