What We've Accomplished Today....04/09/10

Not much really... It's Friday and we have less school-wise than the rest of the week.

At this point in time (12:12pm MST) we have done:

Bible: Reading Genesis 33. Esau and Jacob finally meet up and are extremely happy to see one another. Esau heads back to Se-ir while Jacob goes at the pace of the children and livestock. He stops in Sha-lem, in She-chem, in the land of Canaan. He built an altar and called it El-e-lo-he-Israel.

Each did Math (2 chapters in LoF books today because they begged me yesterday; Fox- Fractions, Lee- Decimals and Percents), and Lee did Language Arts (LIFEPAC). They both ventured to the library for 'library time', have had snack/lunch (Fox didn't want to eat 'lunch' yet because it wasn't 12 yet, but he wanted to eat something!) and now Lee is doing PE on the Wii (tennis, baseball, and boxing), while Fox reads a book.

Still to come is Fox- The Greatest Story Ever Told, Lee- Mere Christianity, History, Foreign Language, Daily News and copywork. Did I miss anything?? ART! Forgot about Art...oops.

Oh, for Foreign Language they will use LiveMocha. I had known about this site before but for some reason I never really tried it. My interest has since been renewed and I completed a lesson in Spanish this morning while everyone else was asleep and have decided they will use that instead of what we were using...for now. This one actually seems more applicable with the lessons than Byki (flashcard system). I want them to actually be able to say sentences, not just point at things and say their spanish equivalent. At one point we had been using Busuu for FL but haven't for quite a while. You can read my little blurb about it here.

I will update this later :)

Update: 4:28pm MST: History- check. Geography- check (had forgotten that one, too). Foreign Language- check (for one of them). Daily News- check (for one of them). Copywork- check. Left to do: Art, Mere Christianity, The Greatest Story Ever Told, and Foreign Language and Daily News (for one of them...).

All did not get done. Did I say today was not as heavy as the rest of the week? I think I told myself a fib! We start out well at the beginning of our week and go a bit slower towards the end. It's Friday and I am glad! I think the kids are too. Tonight is also movie night :) We are going to watch Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. The kids have seen it but they say I just have to watch it, so they are willing to watch it again. Nice of them, huh?

Okay so off I go to get it all done :) and watch a movie :)
