The Weekend

We finished out our week on a good note. Today was a good homeschool day. The kind where you say "Oh right, this is why we do this." Lessons were completed with a minimum of fuss. Everyone got everything on the first go around. That is always very pleasant.

Mister B continues with multiplying decimals, reviewing Complete and Simple subjects in grammar, learning about metric measurements in science, and Galileo for history. He is almost done with his poetry unit. He wrote a couple of clever Haiku today. My personal favorite:

Lawn perfectly mowed
the grass is nice and smooth
You do it next time.

Little Miss M continues with adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators, reviewing direct objects for grammar, Galileo for history, and tools of the scientists.

Both kids are excited about trying to teach themselves to play the guitar. Mister B will be learning on an electric guitar and Little Miss will be learning the Bass. This should be interesting.

Couldn't find any other way to contact you, so I thought I'd mention I run a monthly Jewish Homeschool Blog Carnival. If your family is Jewish, you'd be welcome to contribute anything of an everyday or Jewish nature.
Here's the last one - feel free to submit something for next week's edition!
