Day 15

I'm starting to record in the learning log the evening before since a lot of times, the little ones seem to do a lot more in the afternoon and evening than they do in the mornings (at least, that I notice).

Aidan

• Practiced in 100 Ez lessons (review)
• Played with HWT letterforms and made letter shapes
• Drew in his preschool shape book

Paddy

• Played with HWT forms
• Listened to a lot of stories (several times, yesterday)

Both

• Played outside
• Listened to music and sang with Clare (Irish folk ballads)
• Looked through their math books and tried to draw numbers and talk "math language"

Sean

• Greek and Vocabulary
• Algebra (chapter review)
• Latin (review exercise 20 -- I had him write some of them-- I think I will do this every Friday)
• (He was a bit slow today -- in pain from leg)
• Finished Starswarm -- discussed abrupt ending with me.

I think I'm going to give him The Family that Overtook Christ and Lord of the World

Kieron
(actually got his work done before Sean today -- he wrote a Bionicle "epic" yesterday and wanted to finish it up today).

• Math -- place value
• Latin -- Quia
• Greek
• Geoegraphy -- we discussed the questions at the end of the chapter.
• I gave him Wind in the Willows to read.
• He is talking on the phone with a friend right now, and later I am taking the younger kids to Homeschool group. He also was mostly responsible for making a fire this morning.

I have been reading the TJE Home Companion. It is not really my type of book. But I liked the idea of designing Home Skills "courses" -- really pretty much like the CHC Pilgrims of the Holy Family. ...only customized to the family. I can see doing something like that since home skills don't come naturally to me and I'd like the kids to be more up to speed on that than I was.

I am looking over Progym stuff trying to get the writing curriculum off the ground for this year.
