~Week 10~

We had a busy week once again.    The girls had five different Girl Scout meetings/activities between them as well as attending the Library Homeschool Hour and their Nature Center Class.   We're looking forward to a lazy weekend.  

Hermoine has been working on reviews all week in math.    She's having a very easy time with math so far this year, which is nice because when we battle it is always over math.

She worked her way through Spelling, Grammar and Writing.   Her Writing was focusing on Venn Diagrams and how to use them in a persuasive paragraph.   She thinks Venn's are cool, so she had fun with this weeks lessons.    She is reading The Giver by Lois Lowry for Literature.
In Art she finished up her ancient seals and cartouches artwork and moved on to the significance of solar discs in ancient art.   I can't express how much she loves this art curriculum.

For Music she learned about traditional Caribbean music.   In Science she is working on cell division and osmosis.    She also did three lessons of Rosetta Stone Latin and two from Getting Started With Latin.   She worked on memorizing all the seas in Geography.  She is supposed to be working on the continents as well, but she knows them already.

Ramona also had reviews for four of the five days of math this week. The fifth day was working on bar graphs.

She did all of her Spelling, Writing and Handwriting.  In Grammar she is working on learning the complete subject vs the simple subject and the complete predicate vs the simple predicate.   She finished memorizing "Ozymandias" and has moved on to "How Doth..." by Lewis Carroll.    For Literature she is reading The First Four Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

In Art she learned about optical illusions.   For Music she had a Unit Review and Assesment.   In Science she is learning about the way organisms interact.   She finished the BBC Typing program and is now working on speed by typing daily.   She did two lessons of Rosetta Stone Spanish and is working on memorizing the oceans and their spellings in Geography.

Both girls learned about the Crusades in History.
