Not much to report.
B is working on fractions. Tomorrow he starts adding fractions. I am glad he is getting it. Thanks to Math-U-See, I am getting it. My mother always told me all my math problems started with fractions way back in 2nd grade. She also blames my 2nd grade teacher for not noticing that I was having a problem. Fortunately, he gets them and actually likes them. Language Arts-Pronouns as a direct object and an indirect object. History- He finished a brief stop in Ancient Africa and is now on the Assyrians.
M is working on her 8 times table and liquid measurements-pints, quarts, gallons. Plus, a little review of how to find the perimeter of a rectangle. Language Arts- She had her test on the different kinds of verbs-action, being, irregular, and so on. Now she is studying adjectives. History-Ancient Crete. She loves the story of Theseus and The Minotaur.
This morning we spent a half hour listening to D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths. The stories are read by Paul Newman, Sydney Pottier, Kathleen Turner, and Matthew Broderick. They add an extra level of enjoyment to listening.
We will be off to swim and gym class in a little while to round out the day.

Wow, Kathy . . . it seems like just yesterday you said that you would be homeschooling them, and now the whole year has gone by!! It sounds as though they are really doing well with it!
Thanks, Larissa. It does seem like just yesterday we started on this journey. We have had a great year and the kids are already looking forward to next year. Truly, this is a path I never saw my life taking and it has turned into the best one yet.
