~Week 11 & Week 12~

I didn't get around to posting last week so I'm doing one post for weeks 11 and 12.   The girls have done all of their school work, including an optional unit Ramona chose to do in K12 Science.    I'm just going to cover the highlights of the last two weeks, though.

Hermoine is working on distances, percentages and fraction word problems in math.     She also finished The Giver and Abigail Adams, Girl of Colonial Days for her literature selections.   She is now reading Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry.   In Science she worked on the circulatory and respiratory systems in the human body.  

Ramona has been working on angles in math.   She finished The First Four Years and moved onto Farmer Boy for literature.   In Science she has been learning about air pressure, density, buoyancy, etc.    In Art she is studying the Impressionists.   Degas, Monet, etc.  So far this is her favorite unit in Art.

Both girls covered the Magna Carta, the legend of Robin Hood and the Diaspora in history.
