It's Friday!

Today's Homeschool Schedule - Week 14

Classical Music - This week's composer is Johannes Brahms.

Saxon Math 1 - Lesson 40 Assessment. He finally overcame the 8+8 hurdle.. yeah!!!

Critical Thinking - Click worked on 2 MindBenders and Can You Find Me? puzzles. You can find these at the www.brightminds.us/TrainMyBrain. I'm an Independent Consultant.

Reading - Click read Caps For Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina. I read The Legend of the Lady Slipper by Lisa Larsen.

Memory Work - Books of the Bible, New Testament, Philemon - 2 Peter. We also added 1 John - Revelation.

Car Schooling - As a homeschooling mom I have the opportunity to read a lot of books.... children's books! As a result of this reality, I set a challenge for myself. I have a personal goal to listen to 2 books on tape this year. One within each 6 month period. Why a book on tape? Let's face it, how many of us truly have the time to thoroughly engage ourselves in leisure reading and finish the book within a decent amount of time? I may be in the minority, but books on tape offer a wonderful alternative.
I chose The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama.

Physical Ed - Friday is soccer practice, it serves as part of our physical education.

What about Clack?
She was sleepy today and laid down during much of school, but she did listen to The Legend of the Lady Slipper, while she fiddled with stuff of course.

Hi! I enjoyed reading your weekly report and I would love a review of The Audacity of Hope when you finish listening. :) (Not that you have time, but I thought I would ask just in case. Lol)
